Features

Dependencies:

Pastedown is written in Go and uses Sass for generating CSS. It uses Pygments for syntax highlighting.

To run Pastedown, you will need:

• Python

To build/develop Pastedown you will also require:

• sassc
• Go
• Reflex

Installation

For now, the process is:

1. Clone this repo.
2. Run make.

This builds the server executable (pastedown) and the associated static files. Run it with:

$ ./pastedown [OPTIONS]

Use ./pastedown -h to see all the available options.

Development

You'll need Reflex and Go as in the installation instructions. Use the following command to run the server and rebuild/rerun it when files change:

$ reflex -d fancy -c Reflexfile

This is also available as

$ make watch

Deployment

Follow the installation instructions, then run this command:

$ make tarball

to build a tarball of all the files you'll need. Copy this to your server and run pastedown with the options you want as before. You may wish to make an init script or more fleshed-out deployment scripts.
