  and included website templates)

All the optional libraries can be installed via Rubygems (which I recommend). You can check the
availability of the libraries by executing

  $ webgen check libs

The output tells you whether webgen has been able to load the optional libraries or not!


h2(#installation). Installation


The easiest way to install webgen is via Rubygems

  $ gem install webgen

However, you can also use the included @setup.rb@ installation method:

  $ ruby setup.rb config
  $ ruby setup.rb setup
  $ ruby setup.rb install

Or all commands together via

  $ rake install


The above listed methods also work when installing on Windows (preferred way is via Rubygems).
