Minimalist is a simple and light weighted jekyll theme. It focuses on a minimalistic design but still providing all functionality for a personal blog.

To install Open Recipes you have to install jekyll. After successfully installing jekyll you have to clone this repository to your computer:

git clone https://github.com/Trybnetic/minimalist.git

Then switch into the directory and start jekyll:

cd minimalist
bundle exec jekyll serve

The last command starts a webserver on your local machine. Now you should have a copy of the site running at http://127.0.0.1:4000/. Open this url with your webbrowser and explore the site.
By changing some of the files (except of the config.yml) the changes will be displayed immediately.

After you successfully installed the theme on your computer you can add additional blog posts by creating new files in the _posts directory. The new files have to follow the name convention year-month-day-title.md.
