Robin the Accounting Bird

This is the source of the rotki's blog. It's loosely based on the Hyde theme.

Setting up the preview environment

If you have never previewed the blog locally, you might need to install some dependencies.

Setting Ruby Version Manager

First, you might need to install RVM.

After following the instructions above, you should be able to call rvm from your terminal.

Installing the latest Ruby version

Next you need to install the latest version of Ruby. This can be done by running the following command.

rvm install ruby --latest

After the command completes, set the default version running the following:

rvm use ruby --default

And finally verify that running the version command returns the same version that was just installed.

ruby -v

Finally

It's now time to install the dependencies required to run the preview environment. To do so run:

bundle install

After the successful installation of dependencies the only thing remaining is running the command to preview your changes.

Previewing changes

You can preview an pending changes to the blog locally by running the following command:

bundle exec jekyll serve

You should see something like the following in your terminal:

 Auto-regeneration: enabled for '/home/kelsos/development/repos/rotki/rotkicom.github.io'
    Server address: http://127.0.0.1:4000/
  Server running... press ctrl-c to stop.

If you open your browser in the specified Server Address you should now be able to preview all the changes locally.
