Chowdown.io is a static website generator, which allows you to create and publish websites without the need for a server-side language or database. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Chowdown.io on Clear Linux Latest.
Before we begin, make sure your Clear Linux Latest installation is up-to-date. You should also have curl, git, and tar installed on your system.
First, we need to download the Chowdown.io software. Open your terminal and run the following command:
$ curl -LJO https://github.com/clarklab/chowdown/releases/latest/download/chowdown.tar.gz
This command downloads the latest release of Chowdown.io and saves it as chowdown.tar.gz in the current directory.
Next, we need to extract the chowdown.tar.gz file. Run the following command:
$ tar -xzf chowdown.tar.gz
This command extracts the chowdown.tar.gz file to a new directory called chowdown.
To install Chowdown.io, we need to move the chowdown directory to a location in our system's $PATH. We can do this by running the following command:
$ sudo mv chowdown /usr/bin
This command moves the chowdown directory to /usr/bin, which is in our system's $PATH. This means we can run chowdown from anywhere in our system.
To verify that Chowdown.io is installed correctly, run the following command:
$ chowdown --version
This command should print out the version of Chowdown.io that you just installed.
Now that you have Chowdown.io installed on Clear Linux Latest, you can start using it to create and publish static websites. For more information on how to use Chowdown.io, refer to the official documentation at https://chowdown.io/docs.
