    Create a GitHub Account

    The Couchbase documentation is stored on GitHub, so if you don’t have a GitHub account, you need to create one.

    Download and Install Git

    To clone and work with Git repositories on your device, i.e., local repositories, install Git using your operating system’s package manager. Alternatively, you can download it from the Git project.

    Install an AsciiDoc Editor

    AsciiDoc is the markup language Couchbase uses for writing documentation. You can write an AsciiDoc document using a plain text editor or integrated development environment (IDE). If you don’t have a preferred text editor or IDE, install Atom and the listed AsciiDoc packages for an enhanced experience.
