Hexo also supports CSS preprocessor Stylus, Sass, Scss and Less. Hexo plugins can be built in Node.js. Hexo offer a _config.yml for themes this lets theme developers and custom strings and options to their theme without having to change the main _config.yml and disturb the default or stock config or cause any issue.

Installing

To install Node.js on Raspbian/PiBang or Debian based Linux distribution for Raspberry Pi follow this guide

If you are running Arch Linux ARM on your Raspberry Pi.

pacman -S nodejs  

Once we get Node.js installed on our Raspberry Pi, we can install Hexo.

npm install -g hexo  

Creating a Hexo based website

hexo init Blog  

cd into Blog

cd Blog  

Run npm install.

npm install  

Your folder structure should look something like this.

├── _config.yml
├── package.json
├── scaffolds
├── scripts
├── source
|   ├── _drafts
|   └── _posts
└── themes

You can edit the _config.yml to customise the static generation or edit the _config.yml in the themes/<theme-name> to customise the theme. </theme-name>

Now generate static files.
