Local development

To build this site locally an installation of Hugo and Nodejs is required. Hugo binaries for all platforms are available here:

https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases

Clone this repo with the --recurse-submodules:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/hotosm/toolbox.git

Build the search index if language is supported

cd toolkit-site
node ./.build_scripts/build_index.js

run Hugo

hugo serve

This builds and runs a local webserver with hot-reloading for local content development (Note the search indexes will not be hot rebuilt and loaded).

If the default port is available you can navigate to the built development site at http://localhost:1313 in your browser. If 1313 is already in use by another program hugo will choose another port and return it to the stdout of your terminal e.g.

Environment: "development"
Serving pages from memory
Running in Fast Render Mode. For full rebuilds on change: hugo server --disableFastRender
Web Server is available at //localhost:58696/ (bind address 127.0.0.1)
Press Ctrl+C to stop
