To create a new Zola site, first download the CLI and install it on your system.
You can find installation instructions [on the Zola website](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/getting-started/installation/).

1. After you've installed the Zola CLI, run the following command to create a new site:

   ```sh
   zola init my_amazing_site
   cd my_amazing_site
   ```

2. After you've created the site, install the "Simple Dev Blog" theme like so:

   ```sh
   git clone --depth=1 \
     https://github.com/bennetthardwick/simple-dev-blog-zola-starter \
     themes/simple-dev-blog
   ```

3. Now in your `config.toml` file, choose the theme by setting `theme = "simple-dev-blog"`.

4. That's it! Now build your site by running the following command, and navigate to `127.0.0.1:111`:

   ```sh
   zola serve
   ```

You should now have a speedy simple dev blog up and running, have fun!
