Developing Local

Please fork and clone the source repo (supposing you are using linux) and update the submodules:

$ git clone https://github.com/<your-github-name>/openradar-landing-page.git
$ cd openradar-landing-page
$ git submodule update --init --recursive

You'll need a working Python environment with these packages installed. Just run inside your Python environment:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Now you can start the development server by issuing:

$ ./develop_server.sh

Open a browser and direct it to http://localhost:8000 and you will see the rendered version of the source. You can now edit/add source files and automagically the source will be rendered. Just refresh your browser.

A note on MS Windows

Preparation of the local environment works the same as on Linux. We recommend to create a conda environment (e.g. named pelican) where you can

(pelican) > pip install -r requirements.txt

the requirements. In order to render and serve the Pelican pages, replace the call to $ ./develop_server.sh by

(pelican) > start winrun.bat
(pelican) > start winserve.bat

Then edit/add pages and view them on http://localhost:8000. This is a quick-and-dirty solution and might not be as robust as $ ./develop_server.sh on Linux. So far, however, it worked well on Windows 7.
