Installation and Commands

Installation

Install a current Node.js release, then create a starter project:

npm create rino@latest

To add Rino.js manually to an ESM project:

npm install rinojs

Your package.json should contain "type": "module" and scripts such as:

{
  "type": "module",
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "node dev.js",
    "generate": "node generate.js",
    "generate-all": "node generate.js && node sitemap.js && node feed.js",
    "generate-sitemap": "node generate.js && node sitemap.js",
    "sitemap": "node sitemap.js",
    "feed": "node feed.js",
    "backoffice": "node backoffice.js"
  },
  "dependencies": { "rinojs": "^3.0.0" }
}

Commands

• Development server: npm run dev
• Build the website: npm run generate
• Build the website and sitemap: npm run generate-sitemap
• Build the website, sitemap, and feeds: npm run generate-all
• Build only the sitemap: npm run sitemap
• Build only RSS and Atom feeds: npm run feed
• Run the backoffice server: npm run backoffice

The development server builds into memory and watches project files. A static build writes to dist by default; change it with dist in rino-config.js.
