1. Create a folder named “my-blog” anywhere on your computer.
2. Navigate to that folder in the command line.
3. Install Vuepress by running the following command:

npm install -g vuepress

4. Create the basic directory structure for your project.
5. Add the following code snippet to your project’s package.json file:

"scripts": {
  "dev": "vuepress dev docs",
  "build": "vuepress build docs"
}

6. Copy the configuration file (config.js) provided in the article and paste it into your project’s docs/.vuepress/ directory.
7. Customize the configuration file according to your needs.
8. Start writing your blog posts in the docs/blogs directory. Each post should be written in Markdown format and include the following information at the beginning:

title: [Article Title]
category: [Article Category]
desc: [Article Description]
tag: [Article Tags]

thumbnaildate: [Publication Date]

9. After adding your articles, run the command yarn dev or npm run dev in the command line to start the preview.
10. To deploy your theme, run vuepress build docs in the command line. This will generate a “dist” folder in the .vuepress directory, containing all HTML, CSS, JS, and static files. You can then deploy this folder.
