Installation
Installation is provided using cabal, and some packages are available for different distributions.
$ cabal install hakyll
If you have a recent installation of cabal and your time is somewhat valuable,
use:
$ cabal install -j hakyll
Linux distro packages:
Building the example site
Apart from the main Hakyll library, the cabal package also provides you with an
executable hakyll-init to create an example site. This is an easy way to get
started:
$ hakyll-init my-site
This creates a folder my-site in the current directory, with some example
content and a generic configuration.
If hakyll-init is not found, you should make sure $HOME/.cabal/bin is in
your $PATH. (If you're on OS X, you may not have a bin directory in
$HOME/.cabal. In this case, check $HOME/Library/Haskell/bin and put it on
your path if you find hakyll-init there.)
The file site.hs holds the configuration of your site, as an executable
haskell program. We can compile and run it like this:
$ cd my-site
$ ghc --make site.hs
$ ./site build
If you installed hakyll with a preview server (this is the default), you can
now use
$ ./site preview
and have a look at your site at http://localhost:8000/.
