Komodo documentation uses Vuepress.

Setup:

Prerequisites:

Tip:

If you prefer using Docker, installation of nodejs and yarn is not required. See below for Docker instructions.

Install packages & dependencies

yarn install

yarn docs:dev

HTML output is displayed at http://localhost:8080

Edit the markdown files in the directory docs and save the file.

If the changes are not reflected at http://localhost:8080 right away, refresh the page.

Exit the dev mode by using CTRL + C in the same terminal yarn docs:dev has been run.

Issuing the build command while the above dev command is active might cause the build to fail with errors.

yarn docs:build

The html files are available in developer-docs/docs/.vuepress/dist/

To deploy to gh-pages at https://<USERNAME>.github.io/developer-docs

./deploy.sh

The above script uses your git <USERNAME> from the global git configuration of your system.

You can use Docker to reliably produce a developer environment that won't conflict with any of your existing projects.

Prerequisites: Install Docker and Docker Compose on your system

Clone the repository
cd into the directory cd developer-docs/
To start developing, simply issue docker-compose up in a terminal to launch the container
Then do docker exec -ti komodo_docs /bin/sh in another terminal to access a terminal inside the container. Now simply follow the instructions detailed in the above Start Editing and Build sections.
To exit from the terminal from the container use the exit command.
Use CTRL + C in the terminal docker-compose up has been done to stop the container.
To deploy using docker, use the command ./deploy_docker.sh. This script deploys to your own fork; the webpages are now located at the following address: https://<USERNAME>.github.io/developer-docs
When used for the first time, Docker might take some time to download the required data and build an image. Subsequent usage will be faster.
