Getting Started with Minos

Minos is a simple and retro styled Hexo theme which concentrates more on your ideas. Minos is very expressive as it has extensive plugin support, colorful code highlighting choices, flexible configurations and out-of-box multi-language support. Meanwhile, minimalism also makes Minos a great theme for both writers and readers who desire a better reading experience.

To get started with Minos, download and unzip Minos to your Hexo blog’s theme directory or using the following command in your blog’s root directory:

1
git clone https://github.com/ppoffice/hexo-theme-minos.git themes/minos

You can also specify a version for Minos after downloading the theme through git. Replace the version code in the following command and execute:

1
git checkout 1.0.0

You can also install Minos as a git submodule by calling the following command:

1
git submodule add https://github.com/ppoffice/hexo-theme-minos.git themes/minos

Next, replace the theme setting in your blog’s _config.yml file:

1
theme: minos

Then, edit _config.yml.example file in the themes/minos folder to your satisfaction and save it as _config.yml in the same directory.

For more information about the configurations, please refer to Configuring Minos.

Finally, don’t forget to clone the site branch in the Minos repository if you need further examples about installation and configuration.
