Working With the Site Locally

To check out and run a local copy of the site follow the steps described below.

Pre-Requirements

• Make sure you have a git client installed

• This site requires Ruby 2.0 or higher. Follow the official Ruby language download and installation instructions to get Ruby working on your machine.

• This site requires Jekyll, a Ruby-based site generating framework. To install Jekyll refer to it's installation guidelines. Note: If you are using Windows, you can face some specific aspects while installing Jekyll. See this Run Jekyll on Windows Guide to get more information.

Checking Out Site Repository

To check out the source code run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-sdk-docs.git

Initializing Submodules

The site uses JetBrains custom web templates. To enable custom templates locally, you need to initialize repository submodules. Run the following command in the checkout directory to do so.

git submodule update --init --remote

Installing Gems

After you performed the initial checkout for the main repository and the submodule, run bundle install to install additionally required gems.

Building and Previewing

A set of Rake tasks, a Make-like program implemented in Ruby, provides short commands to build and run the site locally.

Building Site from Sources

• To build static site content run

  rake build

Previewing

• To start the web-server run

  rake preview

• Open the address http://localhost:4000/intellij/sdk/docs/ in your browser. Note: Make sure you haven't changed default Jekyll port during installation.
