Crisp DNA is a web site that describes how Crisp works and why. The source lives on github and is auto-published on http://dna.crisp.se every time a change is pushed.
Below are instructions for how to set up a local development environment. Useful for when you want to make many changes and test locally before pushing to github. See How to clone for more options on how to clone the Crisp model.
Here's how to install GIT.
Tell git to download the crisp-dna source:
git clone https://github.com/crispab/crisp-dna.git
cd crisp-dnaYou should now have the whole thing, including the README.md file that you are reading right now!
The web site source files are under _docs, have a look! They are written using markdown (a simpler format than html). When you push to github, it will automatically convert the pages to static html and build the site http://dna.crisp.se.
To test the site locally, you need to install jekyll (the tool that github uses to generate sites), which in turn relies on some Ruby stuff. But you can do all easily via Ruby bundler, like this:
First install Ruby if you don't already have it, for example via homebrew.
brew install rubyThen install the Ruby Bundler gem, if you don't already have it.
gem install bundlerNext, tell the bundler to install all the gems needed (jekyll, github-pages, etc). They are listed in Gemfile in case you are curious.
bundle install If you are getting error messages, you may have old versions of some Gems installed. Try updating to the latest using:
bundle update Congrats! You got the stuff you need. You should now be ready to....
Tell Jekyll to generate the site and serve it up:
bundle exec jekyll serveOr if you are lazy you can use the run script (which just does jekyll serve)
That's it, your local copy of the Crisp DNA site should be up and running on http://localhost:4000
Every time you edit a source doc (under _docs) it will update the site automatically.
