Hi @Angeli

Before getting started, you will need to have [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) installed and the [HubSpot CMS CLI](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/guides/getting-started-with-local-development#install-dependencies) installed.  
If you have done that, in the command line to create project with boilerplate template is  
“hs create website-theme **\<directory\>** ” (without quotes).  
In your case to create “my-website” will be “hs create website-theme **my-website** ” (without quotes).

You may find the instruction from here: [cms-theme-boilerplate](https://github.com/HubSpot/cms-theme-boilerplate#getting-started)
