Sim's Pages

How do I host this locally myself?

This codebase uses the Astro web framework and is entirely static.

To host, you will need to install Node.JS and Yarn. On an Ubuntu system in 2023, I used the following terminal commands to install both tools:

$ curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash - &&\
$ sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
$ npm install --global yarn

Install dependencies and run the dev server:

$ cd simshadows-pages
$ yarn install
$ yarn dev

You can also compile the website to ./dist/ using:

$ yarn build

Other development tools

To compile the LaTeX documents, you will need:

• a make utility (such as GNU make),
• a LaTeX distribution that can support all the packages required,
• latexmk, and
• pdf2svg.

On a fresh Ubuntu system, I used this to install most of these tools:

$ sudo apt-get install texlive-full latexmk pdf2svg
