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](http://git-scm.com/)
2. [Setup RVM](/docs/setup/rvm)
Octopress requires Ruby 1.9.2 so once you have RVM set up, go ahead and install it.
```sh
rvm install 1.9.2
```
## Setup Octopress
```sh
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](/docs/setup/rvm).
Next, install dependencies.
```sh
gem install bundler
bundle install
```
Install the default Octopress theme.
``` sh
rake install
```
