A modular, fast, simple, static website generator
Project description
In goes content, out comes a website, ready to deploy.
Why Static Websites?
Static websites are safer, use fewer resources, and avoid vendor and platform lock-in. You can read more about this in the Nikola Handbook
What Can Nikola Do?
It has many features, but here are some of the nicer ones:
Fast builds, thanks to doit
Flexible, extensible via plugins
Small codebase (programmers can understand all of Nikola core in a day)
reStructuredText or Markdown as input language (also Wiki, BBCode, Textile, and HTML)
Easy image galleries (just drop files in a folder!)
Syntax highlighting for almost any programming language or markup
Multilingual sites, translated to 17 languages.
Doesn’t reinvent wheels, leverages existing tools.
Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.3 compatible.
Installation Instructions
The easiest way:
pip install nikola
Some features may require you to install additional python packages using pip.
Assuming you have pip installed and want the latest (could be a bit unstable):
git clone git://github.com/getnikola/nikola.git cd nikola pip install .
Optionally (for markdown and lots of other features):
pip install -r requirements.txt
For even more stuff, like tests and very optional features:
pip install -r requirements-full.txt
