Utopia Setup

Utopia is easy to install and should generally only take 2-3 minutes. Firstly, we install the gems, including a web server:

$ sudo gem install utopia thin

Once that is done, we can create a simple site:

$ mkdir test
$ cd test
$ utopia
Copying files from ... to ...
Updating config.ru...
Type `thin start' to start the web server.
I recommend using git for version control.
