Developing

This 10,000th iteration of this site is built using the Pelican static site generator.

1. Clone the site.

2. Create the virtualenv, source, and install pelican

pyenv virtualenv 3.7.3 pelican
pyenv local pelican
pip install pelican markdown sass

2. Compile the Sass to CSS

sass --watch theme/static/sass/collector.sass:theme/static/css/output.css

2. Do the site generation

pelican content

3. Run the server

cd ~/projects/yoursite/output
python -m pelican.server

4. Navigate to localhost:8000

It's best to run the server from a separate terminal as it will reload on changes, which is handy!
