## Installation

Requirements and caveats from upstream:

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- [Getting started with Next.js](https://faustjs.org/docs/getting-started)
- There are two key parts to Faust.js: the NPM packages and the WordPress plugin. To take full advantage of headless, you will need to install the plugin in addition to the npm packages.
