Slices CMS

Starting a new Slices project

Slices requires Ruby, MongoDB and ImageMagick. If you don't have them installed, follow this guide before beginning.

Now we're ready to create the Slices project:

$ cd ~/Projects
$ rails _3.2.16_ new mywebsite -O
$ cd ~/Projects/mywebsite

Add 'slices' to the Gemfile of your new project:

gem 'slices'

Run rails generate slices:install in the terminal and follow the instructions.

If you intend to deploy your Slices app to Heroku, run rails generate slices:install --heroku to make life easier.

You're ready to go! Run rails server and visit http://localhost:3000/admin to begin using Slices.

The next step is to create some slices - there are more guides in the Wiki.
