Install

How your site is served, then HotDog CMS on Linux, macOS or Windows, with git beside it.

1. How your site is served

   You install HotDog on your own computer, not on your web server. Here's how the two fit together, and what each one does.

2. Install on Linux

   Download HotDog CMS, check it's the real thing, and put it where your terminal can find it. About five minutes.

3. Install on macOS

   Download HotDog CMS for your Mac, check it, and let macOS run it. About five minutes.

4. Install on Windows

   Download HotDog CMS for Windows, check it, and add it to your PATH so any terminal can run it. About ten minutes.

5. Installing git

   HotDog keeps your site's history with git. Here's how to get it on Linux, macOS and Windows, and tell it who you are.

6. Updating

   New versions of HotDog CMS fix problems and add features. Updating is the same as installing, over the top of the old one.
