Setup and Local Development

These instructions are generally written for Windows computers. If you are on Linux or macOS, the instructions are different, but you should know what you're doing in that case =) [contact webcrawls for help if you need it]

Dependencies

• Make sure you have a copy of node.js downloaded and installed.
• Download Git (Download for Windows)
  • if you're running this installer, it'll ask you a lot of questions. you should be OK to leave everything default - don't touch stuff unless you know what you're doing =)
  • when the installation is finished, you should have a new program called 'Git Bash'

Clone the Repository

1. Open your file explorer and find/create a folder you want the website code to live within.
2. Enter that folder, hold CTRL+Shift and right-click on an empty part of the folder. You should see the option 'Open Git Bash Here'.
3. Next, run git clone https://github.com/webcrawls/PATTERN. You can either type this out manually, or copy from this page, and right-click in the Git Bash window and select "Paste".
4. This command will download the code. You should see a new folder called 'PATTERN'. Success!

Run the website locally

1. Make sure you have the latest version by running git pull. If you just ran git clone, then you shouldn't need to do this.
2. Open a Git Bash instance inside this folder, by navigating your file explorer to the PATTERN folder and pressing ctrl+shift+right-click on an empty part of the window.
3. Type npm install inside Git Bash and press enter. This will download all necessary dependencies to run the website.
4. After npm install finishes, run npm dev to run a local version of the website. Once this command is ran, it should show a URL such as http://localhost:5173. Navigating to this URL in the browser will bring you to the website.

Build a production-ready version of the website

If you are looking to build the full HTML-version of the website, follow these instructions.

1. Ensure you have the latest version by running git pull in the terminal.
2. Ensure you have the npm dependencies by running npm install.
3. Run npm run build to compile the website. The output will be in the build/ folder, which you can upload the contents of to most web hosts.
