Installing Slate

Prerequisites

You're going to need:

• Ruby, version 1.9.3 or newer
• Bundler — If Ruby is already installed, but the bundle command doesn't work, just run gem install bundler in a terminal.

Getting Set Up

1. Fork this repository on Github.
2. Clone your forked repository (not our original one) to your hard drive with git clone https://github.com/YOURUSERNAME/slate.git
3. cd slate
4. Install all dependencies: bundle install
5. Start the test server: bundle exec middleman server.
6. Create your site's main page, source/index.md, and add some markdown content to it. When you save changes to the file, the test server updates the web content on your test server! Whoa! That was fast!
7. To see your new content, visit http://localhost:4567.

Note: If you visit the test server home page before you've created index.md, it displays "File Not Found. /"

What Now?

The next step is to learn how to edit source/index.md to change the content of your docs.
