In a hurry?

Comet in five steps

About ten minutes. No code, no terminal.

Put the Comet folder on your web host, or run it on your own computer. You will see: the Comet welcome page at your address.
Press Set up Comet. You will see: a short setup, one screen at a time.
Connect your database — the place your pages and settings are kept. Press Connect, approve in the tab that opens, and come back. The free tier is fine. You will see: a green Connected badge.
Save your recovery code. There are no passwords and no reset email, so this code is the only way back in. You will see: a code starting COMET. Print it or keep it in a password manager, then tick the box.
Name your site and pick a look. You will see: your site, ready to edit.
