Build the website locally

Note

If you're only making changes to the content, you most likely won't need to run the site locally.

To preview the website locally, we have two options: using Docker or using Bundler.

Using Docker

Tip

You can run make help to obtain detailed information on how to use our make commands.

1. Ensure that you have Docker and Make installed.
2. Run make build to build the project.
3. Run make serve to serve the project, this include live reloading so any change will be reflected (it can take a while, check the logs).
4. Run make clean to remove the docker images and resources generated.

Using Bundle

1. Install Ruby and Bundler if you don't have them already.

2. Install the jekyll-redirect-from gem:

   $ gem install jekyll-redirect-from
   

3. Clone this repository by running the following command:

   $ git clone https://github.com/expressjs/expressjs.com.git
   

4. Navigate to the cloned repository directory and run the following command:

   $ bundle install
   

   Bundler will look in the Gemfile for which gems to install. The github-pages gem includes the same version of Jekyll and other dependencies as used by GitHub Pages, so that your local setup mirrors GitHub Pages as closely as possible.

5. Run Jekyll using the following command:

   $ bundle exec jekyll serve
   

   Then, load http://localhost:4000 in your browser.
