development server

A local development server allows you to preview your site as you work on it.

first time setup

Open Terminal and navigate (cd) to a directory where you'd like your projects to live, then:

1. $ git clone PASTE_THE_REPOSITORY_URL_FROM_GITHUB - Create a local directory for the site and copy the files from GitHub to your computer
2. $ cd sal-munoz-dot-com - Navigate your terminal to the newly cloned repository
3. $ npm install - Install all the project's dependencies; could take a few minutes

getting the latest files

Open Terminal and navigate to the sal-munoz-dot-com directory, then:

1. $ git pull - Pulls the latest version of the site from github
2. $ npm install - Installs any new dependencies (only needed if git pull updates the file called package.json)

start the server

Open Terminal and navigate to the sal-munoz-dot-com directory, then:

1. $ npm start - Run the start script that launches the dev server
2. Navigate your browser to http://localhost:9966 to open the site preview
3. To stop the server, open the Terminal window where you ran npm start and type ctrl + c
