Astro Erudite

Astro Erudite is an opinionated, unstyled static blogging template built with Astro, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui, designed for developers who value performance and flexibility in their web publishing workflow. It is an open source template in the shadcn.io collection of 215.

Astro Erudite is made by Jktrn, an independent developer; shadcn.io lists it but did not make it. Jktrn has 1 template in the collection, and the author's page lists them.

The listing tags Astro Erudite with Astro, React, Tailwind, Radix UI, Blog and Portfolio and 1 more. Those are its categories, not a dependency list: the exact packages and versions are in the repository's package.json.

Yes. The Astro Erudite page embeds its live demo from astro-erudite.vercel.app, and links to it so you can open the real deployment before you clone.

The Astro Erudite listing was last updated on October 8, 2025. That date is the listing's, not the repository's: check the repository's commits for recent activity.

Clone the repository (git clone https://github.com/jktrn/astro-erudite), then follow the README. The Astro Erudite page shows the usual steps and a terminal block with the commands to copy.

Install dependencies with npm install or pnpm install, then run npm run dev. The README in the Astro Erudite repository says which package manager and environment variables it needs.

No. Astro Erudite is cloned from its own GitHub repository, so shadcn.io isn't involved. Browsing the page and its live demo need no account either; Pro adds the premium templates, the blocks and the MCP server.

Follow the deployment notes in the Astro Erudite README: the right host depends on its framework and any services it needs. The page's categories show what it is built for.

The Astro Erudite listing doesn't record a license. Check the LICENSE file in its repository (https://github.com/jktrn/astro-erudite), and ask the author if there isn't one.

That depends on Astro Erudite's license in its repository, which shadcn.io does not set. Read the LICENSE file before you use it in a client or paid project, and ask the author if it is unclear.

Attribution follows Astro Erudite's license. Many permissive licenses ask you to keep the copyright notice and license text in your copy; its LICENSE file says exactly what.

No. The Pro license covers shadcn.io's own Pro code, blocks and premium templates. Astro Erudite is the author's project, under the terms in its repository.

Jktrn supports Astro Erudite, through its GitHub repository: read the docs, open an issue or look for discussions. shadcn.io does not maintain it.

Yes. Once you clone it, Astro Erudite is your own code: change the theme, add pages and connect your backend. It uses shadcn/ui, so you can also add more components the same way.

Yes. Components are free with a free account and the blocks are in Pro; both are copied into your project with the shadcn CLI. Check that Astro Erudite uses Tailwind CSS and the shadcn/ui setup (a components.json) before you add them, and pick the base library your project already uses.

Yes, with Pro. The shadcn.io MCP server's search_templates tool finds templates by what they are, and returns each one's repository and live demo, so your editor can set up Astro Erudite for you. Your files stay on your machine.

The collection has 14 other open source Templates & Themes templates like Astro Erudite, shown at the foot of its page with the ones sharing most categories first. All of them are at /template/category/templates-and-themes.

Jktrn has no other templates in the collection.

Yes. The 14 premium templates (Solaris, Reframe Labs, Spherule and Max and more) are built by shadcn.io and come with every Pro plan, if you want maintained code with a design file.
