Slate

Getting Started with Slate

Prerequisites

You're going to need:

• Linux or OS X — Windows may work, but is unsupported.
• 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

Or use the included Dockerfile! (must install Docker first)

docker build -t slate .
docker run -d -p 4567:4567 --name slate -v $(pwd)/source:/app/source slate

You can now see the docs at http://localhost:4567. Whoa! That was fast!

Note: if you're using the Docker setup on OSX, the docs will be availalable at the output of boot2docker ip instead of localhost:4567.

Now that Slate is all set up your machine, you'll probably want to learn more about editing Slate markdown, or how to publish your docs.
