A responsive theme for the Pelican Static Site Generator, powered by Python. See it in action at http://people.umass.edu/whopper

If you don't have an existing Pelican project, see the Pelican Quickstart guide to get up and running. It is recommended you read the rest of the Documentation as well, to make better use of Pelican.

1. Clone the repository

$ git clone https://github.com/wjhopper/academia.git

2. Install the theme

$ pelican-themes -i /path/to/cloned/repository

3. Create a THEME variable in your pelicanconf.py file and set its value to academia.

THEME = 'academia'

4. Add the following code to your pelicanconf.py file to fill in the content of the sidebar and the navbar.

AUTHOR = 'Your Name'
SITESUBTITLE = 'Your subtitle goes here'
AVATAR = 'path/to/your/picture.jpg'
LINKS = (('cv', 'path/to/your/CV.pdf'),
         ('email', 'mailto:username@domain_name'),
         ('github', 'https://github.com/your_real_username'))

5. To see your site and test out changes, start up the development web server by running make devserver in the directory where your Pelican site is set up, and navigate your web browser to http://localhost:8000
