Quick start

Requirements

Use Node.js 24 LTS (Node.js 22.12 or newer is supported) and npm 9.6.5 or newer.

Build the examples

git clone https://github.com/Refueled/kitchook.git
cd kitchook
npm ci --ignore-scripts
npm test
npm run build
npm run preview

Open the local address printed by npm run preview. The static site is in dist/.

Build your own collection

Create a content directory containing instance.config.json and recipes/, then build it without changing KitchooK! source:

KITCHOOK_CONTENT_DIR=/absolute/path/to/my-cookbook npm run build

Read local source builds for the recipe folder and full validation contract, or use the versioned builder container without installing dependencies.
