Installing

Dependencies

pdsite aims to keep its dependencies short and simple. The complete list is:

• pandoc (for all the heavy lifting)
• tree (for generating file structures for navigation menus, etc)
• webfs (optional: for easily viewing the site after building)

These are generally available through your system package manager's repositories (brew, apt-get, yum, pacman, etc)

Installation

pdsite is just a shell script, so installation is fairly straightforward. For example, using Git:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/GordStephen/pdsite .pdsite
chmod 744 .pdsite/bin/pdsite

At this point the script can be run from anywhere using ~/.pdsite/bin/pdsite. You will probably want to add ~/.pdsite/bin to your shell's PATH variable to be able to simply call pdsite in the future.
