mkpage: Experimental deconstructed content system

Installation

mkpage and companions are command line programs run from a shell like Bash. You can find compiled versions in releases/latest on Github. What you want to download is the zip file named mkpage-VERSION_NO-release.zip. Inside the zip file look for the directory that matches your computer and copy that someplace defined in your path (e.g. $HOME/bin).

Compiled versions are available for Mac OS X (amd64 processor), Linux (amd64), Windows (amd64) and Rapsberry Pi (both ARM6 and ARM7)
