Chowdown.io is a static site generator that allows you to create and manage food blogs using markdown files. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Chowdown.io on Fedora Server latest.
Before you start, make sure that you have the following:
Chowdown.io is built using Git, so the first step is to install Git on your Fedora Server. Run the following command to install Git:
sudo dnf install git -y
After Git is installed, clone Chowdown.io from the official Git repository. Run the following command to clone Chowdown.io:
git clone https://github.com/clarklab/chowdown.git
Chowdown.io has some dependencies that need to be installed before you can start using it. Run the following command to install the dependencies:
sudo dnf install nodejs nodejs-devel npm -y
After the dependencies are installed, navigate to the Chowdown.io directory and install Chowdown.io using npm. Run the following commands:
cd chowdown
sudo npm install -g
Now that you have installed Chowdown.io, you can create a new site. Navigate to the directory where you want to create the site and run the following command:
chowdown create my-site
This will create a new site called "my-site" in the current directory.
After you have created the site, navigate to the site directory and build the site using the following command:
cd my-site
chowdown build
This will generate the site files in the "public" directory.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Chowdown.io on your Fedora Server latest installation. Now you can start creating your own food blog using Chowdown.io.
