Basic Installation

Use either of Jekyll’s supported methods for adding a gem-based theme to a Jekyll application.

We highly recommend using Bundler and a Gemfile.

  1. Enter AsciiDocsy as a plugin to Jekyll.

    Gemfile entry
    gem 'jekyll', '~> 4.2'
    group :jekyll_plugins do
      gem 'asciidocsy'
      gem 'jekyll-algolia', "~> 1.4"
    end
  2. Set AsciiDocsy as your theme.

    _config.yml
    theme: asciidocsy
