Homebrew can be installed via brew.sh
$ brew tap sv/cli
$ brew install sv
Bare zip archives per release version are available at https://github.com/smallvictories/sv-cli/releases/
To verify you have successfully installed the Small Victories CLI, use the sv --version command:
$ sv --version
You should see a response of sv/x.y.z. If you don’t then the Small Victories CLI has not been installed correctly.
First, you need to create a new folder for your site.
$ mkdir ~/site
Then you need to move into the site folder.
$ cd ~/site
Now you need to create an _sv_settings.txt file which has a theme attribute.
$ echo 'theme: blank' > _sv_settings.txt
The theme attribute tells the Small Victories CLI which type of Small Victories site to build. You can find more information on the different types of themes Small Victories supports below.
Finally you can run the Small Victories CLI to generate and server your site.
$ sv start
You now view your site at http://localhost:2015
SV will automatically watch for changes and rebuild your site as you add and update files in the site folder.
