Test installation

Assuming bash shell, create directory for new site, initialise directory, setup site.conf and finally generate and serve the site.

$ mkdir my_site
$ cd my_site
$ pgn --init
$ pgn --serve production

The above commands will generate the site and make it available to browse on localhost.

The --init argument creates an example site in the current directory. The default site.conf has one section called Production, when calling pgn --serve or pgn --generate it is required to specify the configuration section to use.

To just generate the site, use pgn --generate <config section>, the generated site will be in the site/<config section> directory, all ready for uploading to a web server.
