This is for deploying the charmplusplus website (http://charmplusplus.org/) which is hosted on the machine "charm".

Steps to obtain a local copy of the website for updating:

• Check out the source code:

  $ git clone https://github.com/UIUC-PPL/charmplusplus.org
  

• Install the required gems:

  $ gem install nanoc adsf
  

• Compile the website (anytime you make changes):

  $ cd charmplusplus.org
  $ var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/nanoc compile
  

Note that the directory where the nanoc executable is stored may be different than this.

• Start a local server (port will print to screeen):

  $ /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/nanoc view
  

From here you can access the website by accessing http://localhost:PORT/.

• Change directory to content
• Edit the html
• Recompile the website to generate the new set of static pages

After compiling the webpage with nanoc, just push the changes to the master branch on GitHub and the website will automatically be deployed after a few minutes.
