rails generate cms
rake db:migrate

After finishing installation you should be able to navigate to http://yoursite/cms-admin
Default username and password is 'username' and 'password'. You probably want to change it right away. Admin credentials (among other things) can be found and changed in the cms initializer: /config/initializers/comfortable_mexican_sofa.rb
Before creating pages and populating them with content we need to create a Site. Site defines a hostname, content path and it's language.
After creating a Site, you need to make a Layout. Layout is the template of your pages; it defines some reusable content (like header and footer, for example) and places where the content goes. A very simple layout can look like this:
<html>
<body>
<h1>{{ cms:page:header:string }}</h1>
{{ cms:page:content:text }}
</body>
</html>
Once you have a layout, you may start creating pages and populating content. It's that easy.
