In goes content, out comes a website, ready to deploy.

Static websites are safer, use fewer resources, and avoid vendor and platform lock-in. You can read more about this in the Nikola Handbook

It has many features, but here are some of the nicer ones:

• Blogs, with tags, feeds, archives, comments, etc.
• Themable
• Fast builds, thanks to doit
• Flexible, extensible via the dozens of available plugins
• Small codebase (programmers can understand all of Nikola core in a day)
• reStructuredText or Markdown as input language (also Wiki, BBCode, Textile, and HTML)
• Easy image galleries (just drop files in a folder!)
• Syntax highlighting for almost any programming language or markup
• Multilingual sites, translated to 18 languages.
• Doesn't reinvent wheels, leverages existing tools.
• Python 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4 compatible.

Assuming you have pip installed:

pip install Nikola
