Dear Graham,

NFS supports Ruby.

I found this blog post detailing how to set up Jekyll ( 
http://hayley.ws/2010/12/04/getting-jekyll-running.html )

(Do Jekyll and Sinatra kinda-sorta fill the same niche?)

Anyway, following some instructions from that site:

export GEM_HOME=/home/private/gems
export GEM_PATH=/home/private/gems:/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/
export PATH=$PATH:/home/private/gems/bin
export RB_USER_INSTALL='true'

(And then trying to veer towards getting Nesta up and running)

gem install unicorn
...
unicorn

But I'm getting this error:

/home/private/gems/gems/unicorn-4.2.0/lib/unicorn/configurator.rb:610:in 
`parse_rackup_file': rackup file (config.ru) not readable (ArgumentError)

And that's where I'm stuck. 

Thanks,

Casey

Nesta has a config.ru file, and that's what unicorn is looking for.

gem install nesta
nesta new name-of-folder
cd name-of-folder
gem install bundler; bundle install
unicorn

If unicorn still throws an error, you'll either need to configure it 
(there are plenty of ways to do that; see what Google can come up with) or
try a different server (such as thin, which comes in its own gem).

You'll then need to add some content, and the docs on nestacms.com should 
start to make sense from there...
