Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Installation is provided using [cabal], and some packages are available for
|
|
different distributions.
|
|
|
|
$ cabal install hakyll
|
|
|
|
[cabal]: http://www.haskell.org/cabal/
|
|
|
|
Linux distro packages:
|
|
|
|
- [Archlinux (AUR)](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/haskell-hakyll/)
|
|
- [Debian unstable](http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/haskell-hakyll)
|
|
|
|
Building the example site
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Apart from the main Hakyll library, the cabal package also provided you with an
|
|
executable `hakyll-init` to create an example site. This is an easy way to get
|
|
started:
|
|
|
|
$ hakyll-init my-site
|
|
|
|
If `hakyll-init` is not found, you should make sure `$HOME/.cabal/bin` is in
|
|
your `$PATH`.
|
|
|
|
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/](http://localhost:8000/).
