### Run the Site Locally
2016-08-24 22:35:38 +00:00
2016-08-30 15:05:43 +00:00
The requirements for running a GitHub pages site locally is described in [GitHub help ](https://help.github.com/articles/setting-up-your-github-pages-site-locally-with-jekyll/#requirements ). The steps below summarize these steps.
2016-08-24 22:35:38 +00:00
2016-08-30 15:05:43 +00:00
1. Make sure you have Ruby and [RubyGems ](https://rubygems.org/ ) installed.
2016-08-24 22:35:38 +00:00
2016-08-30 15:05:43 +00:00
> Ruby >= 2.2 is required for the gems. On the latest versions of Mac OS X, Ruby 2.0 is the
> default. Use `brew install ruby` (or your preferred upgrade mechanism) to install a newer
> version of Ruby for your Mac OS X system.
2016-08-24 22:35:38 +00:00
2016-08-30 15:05:43 +00:00
2. Make sure you have [Bundler ](http://bundler.io/ ) installed.
2016-08-24 22:35:38 +00:00
2016-08-30 15:05:43 +00:00
```
# may require sudo
gem install bundler
```
3. Install the project's dependencies
2016-08-24 22:35:38 +00:00
2016-08-30 15:05:43 +00:00
```
# run this in the 'docs' directory
bundle install
```

> If you get an error when installing `nokogiri`, you may be running into the problem described
> in [this nokogiri issue](https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/issues/1483). You can
> either `brew uninstall xz` (and then `brew install xz` after the bundle is installed) or
> `xcode-select --install` (although this may not work if you have already installed command
> line tools).
2016-08-24 22:35:38 +00:00

4. Run Jekyll's server.
2016-08-24 22:35:38 +00:00
2016-08-30 15:05:43 +00:00
```
bundle exec jekyll serve --config=_config.yml,_config_local_dev.yml
```
2016-08-24 22:35:38 +00:00
2016-08-30 15:05:43 +00:00
> We use `bundle exec` instead of running straight `jekyll` because `bundle exec` will always use the version of Jekyll from our `Gemfile`. Just running `jekyll` will use the system version and may not necessarily be compatible.
2016-08-24 22:35:38 +00:00
2016-08-30 15:05:43 +00:00
5. The site will be served from http://localhost:4000.

### Updating the Bundle
2016-08-24 22:35:38 +00:00
2016-08-30 15:05:43 +00:00
The site depends on Github Pages and the installed bundle is based on the `github-pages` gem.
Occasionally that gem might get updated with new or changed functionality. If that is the case,
you can run:
2016-08-24 22:35:38 +00:00
```
2016-08-30 15:05:43 +00:00
bundle update
2016-08-24 22:35:38 +00:00
```
2016-08-30 15:05:43 +00:00
to get the latest packages for the installation.
