You only need a text editor with Markdown support and preview to start writing documentation. Simply fork the repo, clone your fork and start writing.

# Fork this repo and clone your fork
git clone git@github.com:YOUR_USERNAME/ractivejs.github.io.git ractive.js.org
cd ractive.js.org

# Start editing the docs!

If you want to run the full site locally, you will need a virtualenv setup. Install the following additional software and do the following commands. Installation of the additional software may vary by platform. Refer to their platform-specific documentation to know more.

• Python 2.7
• pip
• virtualenv

# Create a virtualenv and activate it
virtualenv ractivejs.github.io
cd ractivejs.github.io

# Fork this repo and clone your fork
git clone git@github.com:YOUR_USERNAME/ractivejs.github.io.git src
cd src

# Start the virtualenv
source ../bin/activate

# on Windows start the virtualenv with
..\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Start the webserver
mkdocs serve

# When done developing, deactivate the virtualenv
deactivate

# Install broken-link checker
npm install -g broken-link-checker

# Run broken-link checker while mkdocs is running
blc -egorv http://localhost:8000

• Everything is written in vanilla Markdown.
• Current documentation goes in the docs directory.
• Legacy documentation goes in the legacy directory.
• Paths should be in lowercase kebab-style (i.e. path-to/my/hello-world.md).
• All links must be relative to the current file.
• Pages should start with a title as first heading.
• The nav bar is managed in mkdocs.yml under pages.
