Bolt
Sophisticated, lightweight & simple CMS. Homepage: Bolt.cm
Bolt is a tool for Content Management, which strives to be as simple and straightforward as possible. It is quick to set up, easy to configure, uses elegant templates, and above all: It's a joy to use. Bolt is created using modern open source libraries, and is best suited to build sites in HTML5 with modern markup.
From a technical perspective: Bolt is written in PHP, and uses either SQLite, MySQL or PostgreSQL as a database. It's built upon the Silex framework together with a number of Symfony components and other libraries. Bolt is released under the open source MIT-license.

3rd Party Install Options
Note: These install options are provided by members of the greater Bolt community and are not directly supported by the core developers.
Yeoman Generator
Tighten that Bolt! This generator will set up Bolt for you with a local extension and a feature-packed theme ready for you to make the best website the world has yet seen.
Note: This is not designed to be a "ready-to-deploy" theme. It is designed to be barebones boilerplate so you can get to making what you need to make.
