First install the prerequisites: git and nodejs (see "prequisites" below if you don't yet have them.)
Then just do this:
git clone https://github.com/PencilCode/newgym.git cd newgym npm install npm run devserver
This will generate the website and start a copy at localhost:9778.
You can edit the contents of the src subdirectory, and the
docpad process will regenerate the website as-needed.
To generate a static website (e.g., for serving through nginx or apache),
just npm run generate. The static website is generated in the
out subdirectory.
Getting git is easy: On Linux, just sudo apt-get install git or
sudo yum install git-core if you don't have it. On Mac, install
Apple's XCode package. On Windows, there are git installers.
Next, you need node.js (which is the node and npm binaries).
The Ubuntu and Debian packages for node.js are pretty old, so don't
just apt-get install the packages. Get and build the latest node and
npm and grunt binaries as follows:
(For Linux:)
mkdir -p /tmp/nodejs && cd /tmp/nodejs wget -N http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz tar xzvf node-latest.tar.gz && cd `ls -rd node-v*` ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local make install echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc source ~/.bashrc
(For Mac:)
mkdir -p /tmp/nodejs && cd /tmp/nodejs curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz > node-latest.tar.gz tar xzvf node-latest.tar.gz && cd `ls -rd node-v*` ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local make install echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.profile source ~/.profile
