Quick new-book setup
This quick setup assumes you already have Jekyll and Prince (if you want PDFs) installed and working on your computer. (Detailed installation guidance here.)
- Download the Jekyll template.
- Open
_data/meta.yml
and replace the sample book information there with your project and book information. - In the
book
folder edit the template files, and add your book’s content. - To modify the design, edit the
.scss
files for each output format inbook/styles
. - Run the
run-
script for your operating system. (On OSX and Linux, you need to give it permission.) - The first time you run it, start with the ‘Install or update dependencies’ option.
There is much more detail in the docs.
