As first steps, perform the following before proceeding to the tutorial section below:
- Install Nix 1 and Enable Flakes
- Clone the template repository locally
-
Run
bin/runand access the site at http://localhost:9001
(If you are using cabal, rather than Nix - run ghcid in place of bin/run).
That should start the Ema dev server displaying a simple website. Go ahead and try modifying either the Markdown content in ./content or the Haskell source in ./src/Main.hs, and observe how the web view updates instantly.
Next, in the tutorial let’s try using this template repo to create a basic website.
Nix is optional. The template repository will work with plain
cabal.
