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

Octopress requires Ruby 1.9.2 so you have two alternatives to install it: RVM or rbenv.

Important: you can't have both rbenv and RVM installed on the same system. Choose one.

RVM steps

  1. Setup RVM
  2. Install Ruby 1.9.2
rvm install 1.9.2

rbenv steps

  1. Install rbenv
  2. Install ruby-build
  3. Install Ruby 1.9.2
rbenv install 1.9.2-p290

Setup Octopress

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

If ruby --version 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
