  • Testing it locally
  • Testing on a GitHub cloned repo

Building the website

The site is build with the Jekyll and published with GitHub pages. To run it you need to setup a basic Ruby (up to 2.4.x) environment.

For Linux and MacOS, the recommended way to install Ruby is with RVM. For Windows you can use RubyInstaller or the chocolately package.

Once Ruby is installed, install the required gems with the following command.

bundler install

❗	The required ffi gem is not yet fully supported in Ruby 2.5.x. If you want to build the site with Ruby 2.5.x, skip bundler and install the gems manually with: gem install ffi --force -v 1.9.18 gem install jekyll

Testing the website

Testing it locally

Just fork the repo, open a shell, place yourself in the root and run

$ bundle exec jekyll serve

of just

$ jekyll serve

This will start a local embedded server on http://localhost:4000. The server will stay up and self-update automatically.

Testing on a GitHub cloned repo

You can publish the site in your cloned repo to see the result of your changes.

First, enable GitHub pages in your forked repository and set it to publish to the gh-pages branch.
