We use Jekyll to build the site using (mostly) Markdown, and we host it by pushing HTML to GitHub Pages.
If you are working on the site, you will want to install and run a local copy of it.
In order to use Jekyll, you will need to have Ruby installed.
Mac OS X comes pre-installed with Ruby, but it's preferable to use rbenv to install Ruby.
$ brew update
$ brew install rbenv
$ rbenv install 2.3.1
$ rbenv global 2.3.1
$ ruby -v
Once you have RubyGems and installed Bundler (via gem install bundler
), use it to install the dependencies:
$ bundle install # Might need sudo.
Use Jekyll to serve the website locally (by default, at http://localhost:4000
):
$ bundle exec jekyll serve -w
$ open http://localhost:4000
