elemental-cms 2.0.8

Flask + MongoDB Web CMS for Developers.

elemental CMS

Elemental is a Flask and MongoDB web CMS intended for developers.

Our main goal is to allow developers to create and maintain web portals or web applications using their preferred programming IDE like VS Code, PyCharm, Visual Studio, etc.

The main interaction with the tool takes place through its CLI, a self documented command line tool called "elemental-cms" which helps us perform deployment tasks directly from the terminal.

It relies on MongoDB to store the metadata, pages' content, snippets' content, dependencies information, and user session data.

To install the tool, we can issue the following command:

pip install elemental-cms
