WDCMS download

Click the following link to get the software and an example website:

wdcms-0.9.9.8.tar.gz

To install:
  tar xf wdcms-0.9.9.8.tar.gz
  cd wdcms-0.9.9.8
  # make sure the python modules (see wdcms.py) and pandoc are installed
  # install in $HOME/.local:
  make
  make install
  # See the file INSTALL for other install locations.
  # The directory demosite contains an example website and
  # it is only an example, not used by the wdcms software.

If you want to give it a try, without installing wdcms

  tar xf wdcms-0.9.9.8.tar.gz
  cd wdcms-0.9.9.8
  # make sure the python modules (see wdcms.py) and pandoc are installed
  make
  cd demosite  # this is a version of the ratrabbit website
  # wdcms will build the website as defined in wdcms.root:
    outputdir: /tmp/demosite
  # change this if you want another location.
  ../wdcms

With some adaptions, the software should run in Windows and Mac OS.

The wdcms command will output something like:

   wdcmsp version 0.9.9.4
   Detected system type:      Linux
   Number of (virtual) cpu's:  4

Have a look at the website by typing (depending of the contents of wdcms.root):

   firefox /tmp/website/index.html
   # Not everything will work, for example the 'downloads' directory does not exist.

You can call wdcms from every directory in the demosite tree: the program will figure out where the root is.
