This is the NodeBox website.

Frameworks

We use the following awesome technologies to create the website:

• Jekyll - Transform dynamic content into a static site.
• Normalize - An alternative to CSS reset which keeps sane browser defaults and makes them consistent across browsers.
• Skeleton - A responsive CSS grid that scales nicely to mobile sizes.

Installing on Mac

Install Xcode first.

sudo gem update --system
sudo gem install rake jekyll github-markdown
sudo easy_install pygments

Installing on Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install ruby rubygems python-setuptools
sudo gem install rubygems-update
sudo gem install rake jekyll github-markdown
sudo easy_install pygments

Running

Writing documentation

We use Mac to capture screenshots. If you capture full-screen windows, turn off shadows. In the Terminal, type:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true
killall SystemUIServer
