====== Blogging with Zen Static site generator ======

===== Background =====

“zs is an extremely minimal static site generator written in Go.”

===== Requirements =====

  * Access to [[golang|''go'']], the Go compiler (follow the 'go' link, or on SDF you can try ''go124'' or ''go14'')
  * Regular, working website hosted in SDF

===== High-level Overview of Steps =====

  - Build the ''zs'' utility, something like: ''GOPATH=/tmp/${USER}.gopath.d GOBIN=$HOME/bin go124 install -v -tags netgo go.mills.io/zs@latest'' (you may need to add a //~/bin// folder or use an existing //~/.bin// in your user space)
  - Create a ''src'' directory, outside of your ''~/html'' folder, for the site Markdown
  - Add Markdown files to your ''src'' directory
  - Run ''zs build'' from within your ''src'' directory
  - Copy the output in the ''src/.pub'' directory to your ''~/html'' directory
  - Verify and Validate
  - Run ''mkhomepg -p''
