Maloja is a simple static-site generator that converts Markdown files into HTML pages. It is designed to be fast, lightweight and easy to use. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Maloja on Linux Mint.
Maloja has some dependencies that need to be installed before it can be used. You can install them by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install ruby ruby-dev rubygems build-essential
This will install the necessary packages for Maloja to run on your system.
Next, you will need to clone the Maloja repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/krateng/maloja.git
This will create a local copy of the repository on your machine.
Navigate to the Maloja directory:
cd maloja
Then, install the required gems by running:
bundle install
This will install all the gems required by Maloja to work.
Make sure you are still in the Maloja directory, then run the following command to generate your site:
bin/generate
This will generate your site based on the files in the content directory.
Finally, you can serve the site locally to see what it looks like. Run the following command:
bin/serve
This will start a local server at localhost:4567 where you can view your site in your web browser.
That’s it! You have successfully installed Maloja on Linux Mint and generated your first site. Happy coding!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
