How to Install Raneto on Windows 10

Raneto is an open-source, flat-file CMS for markdown-based documentation. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of installing Raneto on your Windows 10 machine.

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have the following installed on your machine:

• Node.js version 8 or higher
• Git

Steps

1. Open the command prompt and navigate to the desired directory using the cd command.

2. Clone the Raneto repository from GitHub:

   git clone https://github.com/gilbitron/Raneto.git
   

3. Navigate to the cloned directory:

   cd Raneto
   

4. Install the dependencies using npm:

5. Copy the config.default.js to config.js:

   cp config.default.js config.js
   

6. Open config.js using your favorite text editor (e.g., Notepad, Visual Studio Code) and configure the settings according to your preferences. Make sure to set the PORT to the desired HTTP port (default is 3000).

7. Start the server:
