When writing documentation, please use smart quotes. :)

Documentation Build Instructions

Documentation is essentially the website itself. Simply install requirements, run the build command within website directory:

$ mkvirtualenv newcoder-website
(newcoder-website) $ cd website
(newcoder-website) $ pip install -r requirements.txt

To build the site:

(newcoder-website) $ mynt gen -f _site

To serve the site locally:

(newcoder-website) $ mynt serve _site

And navigate to localhost:5000.

I’ve included a simple script that combines the two above commands:

(newcoder-website) $ ./_local.sh

If you get a permission denied message, you may need to change the file mode in order to run the _local.sh with the ./ preceeding:

(newcoder-website) $ chmod +x _local.sh
(newcoder-website) $ ./_local.sh
