Quick Start

To run the built-in development server:

1. Create and activate a Python virtual environment

2. Install requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Start local development server

mkdocs serve

You can then find the website running on http://localhost:8000/

Pre-Semester Setup

1. Run the following to build the static site:

mkdocs build

2. Rename the static site folder to its semester-name (i.e. F22). Delete the _old folder within this and move the the folder into the docs/_old directory

3. Add a link to the old semester in docs/index.md. Test that the old site is still accessible

4. Within the docs/_data directory, set up information for course links, new staff members, and the semester's schedule. A generate_dates.py script is provided to auto-populate the schedule.yaml file with the expected format - this can be replaced with a csv parsing script later on

5. Replace the Class Calendar iframe within docs/index.md

6. Toggle which sites can be navigated to in the mkdocs.yml file under the nav section
