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

You can now see the docs at http:https://localhost:4567. And as you edit source/index.md, your server should automatically update! Whoa! That was fast!

What Now?

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