This repository holds the source code for our website. It is currrently hosted using github pages, though it could be trivially hosted elsewhere, since it is a static website generated using Jekyll.
Please note that the Jekyll theme we use is hosted in a seperate repo and that this repo is mostly intended to contain content specific to our site.
To build the website locally, simply clone the repo using
git clone https://github.com/IEEEMerced/ieeemerced.com.git
In order to build the website, some dependencies will need to be installed.
sudo apt-get install ruby-full build-essential zlib1g-dev
sudo apt-get install ruby-full build-essential
sudo dnf install ruby ruby-devel openssl-devel redhat-rpm-config @development-tools
sudo packam -S ruby base-devel
Further, you should configure a local installation directory for RubyGems packages so that they don't need to be installed under the root user. This can be done by adding the following lines to ~/.bashrc:
# Install Ruby Gems to ~/.gems
export GEM_HOME="$HOME/.gems"
export PATH="$HOME/.gems/bin:$PATH"
Next, execute your current ~/.bashrc using
source ~/.bashrc
Finally, install Jekyll and Bundler using
gem install jekyll bundler
Now the site is ready to be built. Inside the repository, simply run
bundle install
to install all dependencies specific to the website. Then, to build and run the website locally use
bundle exec jekyll serve
The website should now be live at localhost:4000.
If you would like to help with this website, either internally or externally, please clone or fork the repo and submit any changes to the staging branch here. If you find any issues, feel free to report them here.
