Running Wii-Guide locally

Installing on Windows:

1. Download the latest RubyInstaller with devkit from https://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/
2. Run the installer and on the last screen make sure to have the ridk install step checked
3. A command prompt window should appear, choose the number for MSYS2 and MINGW development tool chain and press enter.
4. Open a new command prompt window then continue to Running Jekyll

Installing on Linux:

1. Install Ruby with sudo apt install ruby ruby-dev build-essentials git -y (Or your package manager equivalent)
2. Run gem install jekyll bundler
3. Continue to Running Jekyll

Running Jekyll:

1. Please follow the installation steps for your platform if you haven't in the past
2. Navigate to a directory for git to create the Wii-Guide folder in
3. Run git clone https://github.com/RiiConnect24/Wii-Guide (Or the url of the fork you want to clone)
4. If you want to use another branch, now run git checkout <branch-name>
5. Next run bundle install
6. Finally, run bundle exec jekyll serve --incremental
7. Navigate to https://localhost:4000, your server should be running!

Notes:

• From now on you can just run bundle exec jekyll serve --incremental from the Wii-Guide directory
• When (re)cloning a repository or updating the Gemfile file, run bundle install first
• If a page isn't updating correctly after making local changes, try removing the --incremental argument first
  • You can also hard refresh the website with Ctrl + Shift + R usually
    • If this doesn't help close your web browser entirely (All windows!) and try again
• Making a change to a file will regenerate the local webview automatically if jekyll is running
