Having trouble installing to github pages #26

Closed twhite96 closed 9 years ago

twhite96 commented 9 years ago

Installed dependencies, downloaded the file, etc but using rake to switch themes is not working. Any suggestions?

twhite96 commented 9 years ago

I try to install with git cloning with the rake command and I get this error:

rake aborted! Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - ./_theme_packages/hello/manifest.yml /Users/tiffanywhite/Desktop/Git Repositories/twhite96.github.io/Rakefile:289:in initialize' /Users/tiffanywhite/Desktop/Git Repositories/twhite96.github.io/Rakefile:289:inopen' /Users/tiffanywhite/Desktop/Git Repositories/twhite96.github.io/Rakefile:289:in verify_manifest' /Users/tiffanywhite/Desktop/Git Repositories/twhite96.github.io/Rakefile:188:inblock (2 levels) in <top (required)>' /Users/tiffanywhite/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.5/bin/ruby_executable_hooks:15:in eval' /Users/tiffanywhite/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.5/bin/ruby_executable_hooks:15:in

Any ideas?

No manifest.yml file so it is having a fit. I can't find it in the zip file I downloaded. Any chance you can add one?

There is no rake task to switch themes. You have to manually copy in all of the theme files if you're switching from an existing theme. On the demo site there's a list of all the layouts, includes, and assets you'll need.

I think Jekyll bootstrap themes and Octopress themes use rake so maybe that's were the confusion is. This is just a vanilla Jekyll repo with some basic setup and styling done to build off of.
