Local Development Setup

The instructions on this page will guide you in setting up a local development environment in Windows OS.

Ruby Installation

  1. Install Ruby and Development Kit. During ruby installation check the “Add Ruby executables to your PATH” box. e.g. for 64-bit architecture install: Ruby2.3.3
  2. Install corresponding Ruby DevKit e.g. corresponding developer kit. When you execute the file , it’ll ask you for a destination for the files. Enter a path that has no spaces in it.
  3. Navigate to the folder you extracted the DevKit using your Command Line. e.g. using powershell or cmd
  4. Enter ruby dk.rb init in the command line interface followed by ruby dk.rb review and finally ruby dk.rb install to complete the installation of the DevKit by binding it to your Ruby installation.

Jekyll Installation

  1. Open cmd and type gem install jekyll bundler

Setting up locally

  1. Fork this repository.
  2. Open git terminal(Git bash in windows), and clone your forked repo i.e. git clone https://github.com/<your_username>/gci17.fossasia.org.git in the directory you want.
  3. Change directory to the local repository i.e. cd gci17.fossasia.org. Now type dir to see if Gemfile can be seen.
  4. Type bundle install to install dependencies.
  5. Type gem install jekyll-sitemap and then gem install jekyll-paginate.(Not necessary, if it is installed in the previous step.)
  6. Now open Gemfile(with any text editor e.g. sublime) and then remove '#' in #gem 'github-pages', group: :jekyll_plugins and add '#' to gem 'jekyll-sitemap' gem 'jekyll-paginate'. Save the file.
  7. Type in the git terminal bundle exec jekyll serve . You will see a Server address.
  8. Now your server is up and running. To view gci17.fossasia.org page, go to localhost:4000.
