+# Deploying
+
+The following guides are based on some shared assumptions:
+
+- You are placing your docs inside the `docs` directory of your project;
+- You are using the default build output location (`.vitepress/dist`);
+- VuePress is installed as a local dependency in your project, and you have setup the following npm scripts:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "docs:build": "vuepress build docs",
+    "docs:serve": "vuepress serve docs"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Building The Docs
+
+You may run `yarn docs:build` command to build the docs.
+
+```bash
+$ yarn docs:build
+```
+
+By default, the build output will be placed at `.vitepress/dist`. You may deploy this `dist` folder to any of your preferred platforms.
+
+### Testing The Docs Locally
+
+Once you've built the docs, you may test them locally by running `yarn docs:serve` command.
+
+```bash
+$ yarn docs:build
+$ yarn docs:serve
+```
+
+The `serve` command will boot up local static web server that serves the files from `.vitepress/dist` at http://localhost:3000. It's an easy way to check if the production build looks OK in your local environment.
+
+You may configure the port of the server py passing `--port` flag as an argument.
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "docs:serve": "vuepress serve docs --port 8080"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Now the `docs:serve` method will launch the server at http://localhost:8080.

   VitePress will start a hot-reloading development server at http://localhost:3000.
+
+By now, you should have a basic but functional VuePress documentation site.
+
+When your documentation site starts to take shape, be sure to read the [deployment guide](./deploy).
