What is RenderEngine

The 3 layer Architecture

• Page - A single webpage item built from content, a template, raw data, or a combination of those things.
• Collection - A group of webpages built from the same template, organized in a single directory
• Site - The container that helps to render all Pages and Collections with uniform settings and variables

Installing Render Engine

To use the render engine, you must have Python 3.10 or greater installed. You can download Python from python.org.

• Linux/MacOS: python.org
• Windows: Install Python using pymanager on Microsoft Store, which manages Python installations.

Render Engine is available in PyPI and can be installed using pip:

pip install render-engine

To use render-engine with the cli, you can install render-engine-cli. This would install both modules.

pip install render-engine-cli
