Getting Started

First lets install the Bolt gem:

$ sudo gem install bolt

Hopefully that worked, we can now move on to creating our first site:

$ bolt create my_first_site
Created my_first_site/
Created my_first_site/pages
Created my_first_site/views
Created my_first_site/lib
Created my_first_site/resources
Created my_first_site/pages/home.rb
Created my_first_site/config.yml
Created my_first_site/views/application.haml
Created my_first_site/views/home.haml

How exciting! Now lets build it:

$ bolt build my_first_site
Removed ./out
Created ./out
Copied ./resources to out
Parsed config ./config.yml
Parsing page ./pages/home.rb
Created out/index.html

Now open out/index.html in your web browser; how exciting. Seems like a lot of work for just that though, doesn't it? Well keep reading to learn about the true power of Bolt.
