Swift Website

This is the website for the SWIFT project. You can build the website by doing the following:

  • Create a virtual environment (`` virtualenv3 env ``)
  • Activate it (`` source env/bin/activate ``) [note to deactivate you want to use the `` deactivate `` keyword in your shell]
  • Use that virtual environment to install the required packages (`` pip install -r requirements.txt ``)
  • The source files for the website are found in `` site/ ``. Change to this directory.
  • Use `` nikola build `` to build the website. The generated files will be placed in `` output ``. These can now be transferred to your webserver by using `` scp ``.
  • You can start a local webserver to check things worked correctly by using `` nikola serve -b ``. This should open your browser at the same time.
