A declarative, file-based tool for rapidly building maintainable websites.
# Download the packaged app to install.
curl https://install.growsdk.org | bash
# Initialize a site.
grow init codelab codelab
cd codelab
# Run the development server.
grow run
By using the installer from install.growsdk.org, you can leverage the autoupdater. If you'd prefer to build from source, see installation alternatives.
For contributors, Grow includes a setup script to help set up development environment for running the tests and executing the command line tools. The setup script installs pip, virtualenv, and all of the required libraries.
git clone [email protected]:grow/grow.git # Clones this repo.
cd grow
./scripts/setup # Runs setup script.
Once installed, you can:
./scripts/test # Runs tests.
./scripts/grow # Runs `grow` command line program.
# Installs Grow in Python's site-packages directory.
sudo pip install grow
# Or, install Grow for a single user.
pip install --user grow
# If you have Grow already, upgrade it.
pip install --upgrade [--user] grow
# Or, build from source.

sudo apt-get install python python-pip build-essential python-all-dev zip \
libc6 libyaml-dev libffi-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libssl-dev zip
sudo pip install --upgrade pip
sudo pip install --upgrade six
