Getting started

Installation

Copy the theme into your site, point the generator at its configuration, and build. There is no package to install and no build step of its own.

Requirements

Lucid needs the ssg binary, version 0.0.56 or newer, and nothing else. There is no Node toolchain, no bundler and no package manager step — the theme is Markdown, HTML templates and one stylesheet.

Check what you have:

ssg --version

Add the theme

Copy the lucid directory into your site's themes/ directory:

cp -r themes/lucid /path/to/your-site/themes/

The theme brings its own ssg.toml. Point it at where your content and output should live by editing three keys:

Key What it does
content_dir Where your Markdown lives
template_dir The theme's _layouts directory
output_dir Where the built site is written

Build the site

Run the generator against the theme's configuration:

ssg --config themes/lucid/ssg.toml

The output is a complete static site: no runtime, no server requirements, and no JavaScript needed to read it. Continue to Configuration to set your own navigation labels and locales.
