About
My website, vickysteeves.com, upgraded from coding-by-hand (n00b) to Nikola, a static site generator.
Building
This site relies on Python and Nikola, a static site generator.
I would recommend you use a virtualenv to build and view this website. This is a Python tool to create isolated Python environments. The HitchHiker's Guide to Python has a great guide on virtual environments that I used to learn how to use/interact with virtualenvs.
Here's how to make and activate a virtual environment:
# install the tool virtualenv
$ pip install virtualenv
# create the Python 3 virtual environment
$ virtualenv -p python3 my-website
# activate the virtual environment
$ source my-website/bin/activate
Now, you can get started and install all of the dependecies of my website!
# install the dependencies
$ pip install Nikola['extras']
# clone this repo
$ git clone git@gitlab.com:VickySteeves/personal-website.git
# change directory (cd) so you are in the right folder for the website
$ cd personal-website
# build the website
$ nikola build
# see the website
$ nikola serve -b
You should now be able to see and interact with my website locally!
