Disqus integration for GitBook

Install the Disqus plugin via NPM, which should be installed globally using the -g option:

$ npm install gitbook-plugin-disqus -g

As you are installing globally, you may need to put sudo in front of the command, sudo npm install gitbook-plugin-disqus -g

To use the Disqus plugin in your Gitbook project, add the disqus plugin to the book.json file, along with your shortname (you create a shortname for disqus by creating a new website on the disqus.com website)

{
    "plugins": ["disqus"],
    "pluginsConfig": {
        "disqus": {
            "shortName": "XXXXXXX"
        }
    }  
}

The --plugins option to the Gitbook serve and build commands has been depreciated.

Thank you.
