I assume you have installed ruby via the One-Click-Installer and webgen
via
gem install webgen
on the command prompt.
Change into the directory under which you want to create your webgen
website, for example:
cd C:
cd \websites
Then you create a new webgen website with
webgen create mywebsite
The `create` command of the webgen executable is used to create a new
website. You can customize the look of your new website via command
line options (run `webgen help create` for help).
Another way to create a website is via the webgen webgui which can be
started by running
webgen webgui
This opens a browser window where you can enter the path of your new
website directory - the input field has path auto completion. Enter the
path to your website (e.g. C:\website\mynewwebsite) and click on the
button. You can then preview the page with various layouts and
templates and then create the website at the entered location. If you
enter a valid webgen website directory into the path input field, you
can generate the website.
