Quick Install

Currently we support the Linux and MacOS operating systems; use our quick install script to install all the required components:

curl https://releases.uwe.app/install.sh | sh

Once the installation is complete you can start a new shell session or update the PATH for the current shell session:

source $HOME/.uwe/env

Then check the installation succeeded:

uwe --version

After installation these are the installed programs:

• uwe Compile, live preview and publish websites.
• uvm Version manager for installation and upgrading.
• upm Plugin discovery and authoring tools.

Test Drive

Once the installation completes use this one-liner to take a test drive:

uwe new project && (cd project && uwe dev)

Which will perform the following tasks:

• Create a new website in the project folder
• Compile the files in project/site to project/build/debug
• Launch the site in a browser
• Watch the project/site directory for changes

You can get going right away; edit the files in project/site and check your changes in the browser.
