Local setup - RRowinski/BoardGames GitHub Wiki

Follow these steps to run the website on your local machine:

1. Install Python (v3.6.5 or above) if you don't have it already.

   • https://www.python.org/downloads/
   • Be sure to select the option to add Python to your environment variables (path)

2. Clone (or download) a copy of the 'gh-pages' branch to your local machine.

   • When working on new changes, clone the branch you want to work on instead.

3. Open up a command window in the folder where index.html is located

   • 'Windows key - cmd - enter'
   • Browse to the file e.g. Type in: cd .*User*\Documents\GitHub\BoardGames\

4. Once there, type: 'python -m http.server' (without quotes) then press enter.

5. In any browser browse to : http://localhost:8000 (this should load up the dashboard)

6. To stop the server press 'ctrl'+'c' in the command window. (It may take a minute or two to stop).
