I’ve recently had some problems with Octopress breaking on my old Kali 1.0 box. And since the Kali 1.0 reached its end of life, figured this might be a good time to jump ship and install the 2.0 version, and set up a fresh Octopress there. So in this post I will quickly overview the steps needed to clone an already existing Octopress blog on a new machine and resume blogging from there.
clone the source branch repository
git clone -b source https://github.com/chousensha/chousensha.github.io.git octopress
cd octopress
clone master branch to _deploy
git clone https://github.com/chousensha/chousensha.github.io.git _deploy
The source branch contains the source of your blog, while the content that you generate is in the master branch.
Before proceeding with installing dependencies, I followed the instructions on http://octopress.org/docs/setup/ to install rvm, Ruby 1.9.3 and ExecJs:
install rvm
command curl -sSL https://rvm.io/mpapis.asc | gpg2 —import – curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable —ruby
run below to be able to use rvm in the shell windows, and add it to your shell rc file or you will need to always run it before using rvm
source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm
install Ruby 1.9.3
rvm install 1.9.3
You will get a message that this version of Ruby is no longer maintained, but I had problems with Ruby 2~ so keeping this for Octopress.
use Ruby 1.9.3
rvm use 1.9.3
update the rubygems to the latest available
rvm rubygems latest
optional: check that your Ruby version is the right one
ruby —version
install JS runtime for Ruby
gem install execjs
now install dependencies
gem install bundler bundle install
setup github pages
bundle exec rake setup_github_pages
And you’re good to go!
Note for zsh users: because of the globbing of zsh, you will need to add alias rake=“noglob rake” to your .zshrc file or you will get a no matches found error. Or you can quote the arguments given to rake: rake “new_post[Whatever]”
