To install Glyph, simply run gem install glyph, like with any other Ruby gem. Then, create a new directory and initialize a new Glyph project, like so:

mkdir test_document

cd test_document

glyph init

That’s it. You just created a new Glyph project in the test_document directory.

Every Glyph project is comprised of the following directories:

• images/ — used to store the image files used in your document.
• lib/ — used to store your custom Glyph macros and Rake tasks.
• output/ — used to store your generated output files.
• styles/ — used to store your stylesheets.
• text/ — used to store your source text files.

Additionally, the following files are also created at top level:

• config.yml — containing your Project Configuration.
• document.glyph — containing the structure of your document.
