Where is the Quartz binary? #1333

Closed logoff closed 1 month ago

logoff commented 1 month ago

Describe the bug According to https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz/issues/81 there is a Quartz binary, however, I don't see any reference in the documentation. Is there a way to get the Quartz binary, so we don't need to clone the repo and build it on every project we create?

jackyzha0 commented 1 month ago

the comment there is out of date; quartz 4 is released but not using hugo

you can get what you want via the nix flake: https://github.com/zdcthomas/quartz_flake

Thanks for the answer! I have started playing with Quartz, and I'm pretty happy with the results so far.

However, I consider it so different from other tools I have used with similar purposes, like Hugo, Jekyll or Mkdocs, because I expected a binary and configuration files, more than an entire repo to be cloned to start with.

Are there plans to make Quartz a standalone Node.js package, that comes with the binary and allows creating projects with no direct dependency on the sources?

Once again, thanks for your time. Nice project!

This was an explicit philosophical choice: https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/philosophy#a-garden-should-be-your-own

tldr; no theres no plan to make a standalone binary but im not opposed to community members making binary versions of it

Understood! Thanks @jackyzha0.
