Quick-start guide

Get started quickly with Perron by adding it to your existing Rails app or start a new static site.

An existing app

Start by adding Perron:

bundle add perron

Then generate the initializer:

rails generate perron:install

This creates an initializer:

Perron.configure do |config|
  config.site_name = "Helptail"

  # …
end

A new site

Start a new Perron-based site by running this command:

rails new MyNewSite --minimal -T -O -m https://perron.railsdesigner.com/library/new/template.rb

This is a snippet from the Perron library, read more about this snippet here.

Create your first content

Perron works with resources, e.g. pages or posts. Learn about collections and how to generate one.
