Local development

Install the Python3 Pip package manager using the Debian package manager:

apt install python3-pip pipx

Create and activate a python virtual environment

python -m venv ~/venv/ && source ~/venv/bin/activate

Use pip3 to install mkdocs-material, along with the plugins used by the Practicalli site (plugins are also installed in the GitHub Action workflow)

pip3 install mkdocs-material mkdocs-callouts mkdocs-glightbox mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin mkdocs-redirects mkdocs-rss-plugin pillow cairosvg

pillow and cairosvg python packages are required for Social Cards

MacOSX has not been tested, although it is assumed homebrew approach is the most likely to work.

brew install [email protected]

Fork the GitHub repository and clone that fork to your computer,

git clone https://github.com/<your-github-account>/<repository>.git

Run a local server from the root of the cloned project

make docs

The website will open at http://localhost:8000

If making smaller changes, then only rebuild the content that changes, speeding up the local development process

make docs-changed

NOTE: navigation changes may not be correctly reflected without reloading the page in the web browser or carrying out a full make docs build
