Argo is a flat-file static-site blog authoring and building system. It presents a browser interface for ease of use, and synchronizes with any hosting service using Git or rsync.

Because Argo keeps all your content on your computer, no hosting service can ever deprive you of your content by shutting down your account. The content you create is always on your own computer. This makes Argo sites censorship- resistant. Further, because Argo is a flat-file static-site system, remove hosting requirements are minimal. Only a web server is needed.

This package is IS NOT a server application. DO NOT install it on a server.

Instead, this package is an end-user application, to be installed on firewalled client computers.

This package DOES NOT use Semantic Versioning. It is intended primarily as a product, not as a set of libraries.

First, get Composer, then issue the following commands:

$ composer create-project getargo/php argo
$ php ./argo/bin/admin.php

That will open Argo in your client browser.

Download and double-click the Mac- or Linux-based desktop appliction from getargo/app.

Linux users may need to install PHP first, if it is not already present.
