Installing

There are some pre-requisites to install the project. You need to have the following installed:

• Cargo

To check whether you have cargo installed, run the following command in your terminal:

cargo --version

You should see something like this:

cargo 1.84.1

Note : I am trying to distribute the binary in the future, but for now, you need to have cargo installed.

After making sure you have cargo installed, just run this :

bash <(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NavinShrinivas/sapling/refs/heads/main/install.sh)

This by default installs the latest version of sapling in your system. You can run the same command as above to update your sapling version as well.

All version of sapling WILL be backwards compatible. So you can use the latest version of sapling without worrying about breaking you existing website.

Obviously, websites generated using sapling will be backwards compatible only with the same settings.yaml from before as all new features if breaking will be added behind a settings flag.
