The following instructions are for OSX but should mostly work for any *nix system.
Requirements
- Ruby
- Gulp
- Jekyll
If you don't have the latest version of Ruby you can install it on OSX easily with Homebrew (follow the instruction to install it here).
brew install rubyThis is used to compile the JS and CSS.
npm install gulp-cli -g
npm install gulp -DUsed to generate the static site for local development and testing.
gem install jekyll bundlerOnce these are installed, from the root of the site you can run:
gulp && bundle exec jekyll serveThis will both compile the JS/CSS and generate the static site files for local testing.
If you change any JS or CSS you will need to restart this service. HTML/MD files will be automatically regenerated on save.
