01. Requirements

Required:

• Bash 4
• GNU utils (GNU date and sed)
• a local web server
• Perl
• a terminal

Optional:

• Pygments (for code syntax highlighting, requires Python)
• a GitHub, GitLab or Netlify account (for easier deployment and hosting)

NOTES:

• currently not working on Macs "out of the box", but will fix that soon

• Perl is only required to run markdown.pl - the best Markdown to HTML parser. If you use something else, you won't need Perl.

• If you don't have busybox httpd or httpd, any other web server will do, you just need to run it from the right directory:

  • if $site_url is /, run the web server from .
  • if $site_url is /foo, run the web server from ../
  • if $site_url is /foo/bar, run the web server from ../../ (etc).

(mdsh will work it out automatically if you use the server start|stop commands)

Tested on:

• Puppy Linux
