Building this site

You can build this site locally using Jekyll

Windows users must build the site in a Vagrant container running on Virtual Box as discussed in more detail in the Vagrant README.

We use symbolic links (symlinks) in the guides/v2.1 directory to link to topics that haven't changed since the 2.0.x release. Because symlinks aren't supported by Windows, you cannot use the Windows environment; you must use a Linux environment.
Mac and Linux users can build this site locally using Jekyll or you can use Vagrant.

Vagrant might be easier because the software runs in a container that isn't dependent on, and cannot conflict with, any other software installed on your computer.

To build the site locally using Vagrant you need only the files in the vagrant/ directory. For more information, see the Vagrant README.

Currently, building this site requires:

Use bundler to get compatible versions of other dependencies.

To build this site locally:

# Install dependencies
$ bundle install

# Visit http://localhost:4000 in your favorite browser!
$ bin/jekyll serve --incremental

If you have questions, open an issue and ask us. We're looking forward to hearing from you!
