As you already know, Pelican is not a content management system like WordPress, it is a Python static blog generator – there is not database, nor a web interface. We use reStructuredText or Markdown to create the posts and pages and the entire content is flat-file based and managed by the CLI. This type of storage gives you the chance to manage the posts and if necessary to migrate them. As Scriptogram appears to be Pelican-based, you can move the files and posts (including permalinks) without changing them at all. Today we will show you how to install Pelican on CentOS 7 using Python 3. Let’s get started!
