Currently, running Denizen requires cloning the source repository locally. Once Deno supports asset references or something analogous, you will be able to run Denizen with a single command (and hopefully, one day, no commands).
Use Git to clone the repository:
git clone https://codeberg.org/dz4k/denizen && cd denizen
Use `deployctl`:
deno task deploy
You can run Denizen locally on your computer or on a server you own with the following command:
deno task run
Opening your Denizen site
(e.g. clean-fox-95.deno.dev
or http://localhost:8000)
will show the initial setup interface.
Fill out your name (or the name of your site),
the site URL if you own a domain
(e.g. https://my-cool-site.example),
and set a password for the admin interface.
After you click Get started, you will be redirected to your site's homepage.
If you are logged out of the admin account, go to
http://<your Denizen site>/.denizen/login
to log in.
