Steps

Once you have met the prerequisites, you can proceed with the following steps to install Payload CMS:

Clone the Payload CMS starter project from GitHub by running the following command in the Terminal:
```
git clone https://github.com/payloadcms/starter.git my-project
```
This will create a new directory called my-project in your current working directory and clone the starter project into it.
Change into the directory of your project:
```
cd my-project
```
Install the project dependencies with npm:
```
npm install
```
Run the project in development mode:
```
npm run dev
```
This will start a development server on http://localhost:3000 and compile the project assets.
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to see the Payload CMS home page.
