Quickstart¶
This is a quickstart guide for getting up and running fast
If you’re an end user not too familiar with python or working in the command line check out: New Users
Installation¶
see 3color Installation for in depth help
If you have python and pip installed on your computer:
$ pip install 3color-Press
this will install to your site packages folder and create the 3color-Press project folders in your home directory, and will also make the 3color command line tool available in your path. (current exceptions if you install with –user flag, the 3color tool will be in in userbase/bin )
If you have problems with system permissions (i.e. you use osx’s native python) Look into using virtualenv or installing with –user and adding appropriate path for the command line tool into your system path.
Usage¶
see Command Line Tool for more about the 3color tool
The command line tool 3color allows for some quick access for managing, building, pushing, testing your site, as well as bootstrapping new page creation.
3color run
This command will run the site live and locally on port 5000 as well as open your default browser to it. (if it doesn’t load just refresh and currently the browser)
