This has been tested on Unix and Macs. We don't think it's going to work on Windows.

Preparations

You will need Ruby. We recommend using RVM for setting up and managing the Ruby environment for this site.

1. install RVM

2. install Ruby 1.9.3

    rvm install 1.9.3
   

3. prepare an environment (called gemset)

    rvm use 1.9.3
    rvm gemset create pintorg
    rvm use 1.9.3@pintorg
   

4. in the root of this repository on the source branch run

    bundle install
   

5. once in a while run (i.e. every month or so)

    bundle update
   

   to pick up updates of the installed and dependent gems.

Testing Locally

First activate your local Ruby environment with rvm use 1.9.3@pintorg. Then you can simply run jekyll serve --watch and it will build the site, serve it at localhost:4000 (or 127.0.0.1:4000) and update whenever you change some files for immediate inspection in your favourite browser.
In case you altered the configuration files (i.e. _config.yml) or one of the custom Jekyll plugins (in _plugins) you will have to stop and restart jekyll serve.
