First, I want to stress that Octopress is a blogging framework for hackers. You should be comfortable running shell commands and familiar with the basics of Git. If that sounds daunting, Octopress probably isn't for you.

Before You Begin

You'll need to have Git and RVM installed before you move forward.

  1. Download Git
  2. Setup RVM

Octopress requires Ruby 1.9.2 so once you have RVM set up, go ahead and install it.

rvm install 1.9.2

Setup Octopress

git clone git://github.com/imathis/octopress.git octopress
cd octopress  # You'll be asked if you trust the .rvmrc file (say yes).
which ruby    # Should report Ruby 1.9.2

If which ruby doesn't say you're using Ruby 1.9.2, you may want to revisit your RVM installation.

Next, install dependencies.

gem install bundler
bundle install

Install the default Octopress theme.

rake install
