Installation

Prerequisites

For information on learning and installing the prerequisite technologies for this project, please see Foundational technologies — Creative Commons Open Source.

Make sure you have:

• pipenv
• Node.js v12+ and npm installed.

To install these, execute the following commands:

• macOS:
  1. Install Homebrew
  2. Install pipenv and node:

     brew install pipenv node
     

• GNU/Linux:
  1. Installing Pipenv
  2. Install Node.js (or see the detailed instructions)
  3. Update packges:

     sudo apt update
     

  4. Install npm:

     sudo apt install npm
     

Installing Project Requirements

1. Clone this repository.
2. Open your command line interface change directories to the repository root directory.
3. Create a Python virtual environment and install the requirements for this project:

   pipenv install --dev
   

pipenv Troubleshooting

pipenv doesn't always provide the best error messages (Provide better error message if the project’s virtual environment is broken). If all else fails, try removing the virtual environment and reinstalling:

1. Remove virtual environment:

   pipenv --rm
   

2. Install virtual environment (including dev packages):

   pipenv install --dev
   

   • If there's no Python 3.11 on your system (or if pipenv can't find it), you may need to specify the Python location. For example:

     pipenv install --dev --python /opt/homebrew/bin/python3.11
     

Development

• Start the Lektor development server:

  pipenv run lektor server -f webpack
  

• You will be able to see the website at 127.0.0.1:5000/.
  • The Lektor server will rebuild the site every time you change any content.

Troubleshooting Possible Errors

• Should you get series of type errors that looks something like npm ERR! typeerror Error: Missing required argument #1, after running pipenv run lektor server -f webpack, this is most likely due to running an older version of Node.js.

  As stated above in Prerequisites, you should be running Node.js version 12+.

• Should you get an OSError: [Errno 28] inotify watch limit reached after running any command, this means that your system file watcher is running out of allotted handles, usually because the workspace is large and contains many files.

  The solution is to run:

  sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288
  

  This increases your inotify watch limit (for the session) to 524288, which is the maximum value and is also enough to allow the setup go through. You can learn more about file watchers from this blog post or from the VS Code documentation.

Deployment

We have continuous deployment set up. To deploy, push your code to the main branch (or make a pull request against the main branch. GitHub Actions builds and deploys the site whenever it detects new commits on the main branch.

The GitHub Actions configuration is located at .github/workflows/lektor-build-deploy.yml.

Manual Deployment

⚠️ For reference only, you should not need to not do this.

When you are ready to deploy a new version of the site, run lektor deploy (assuming you have your GitHub SSH key already set up and you have access to the creativecommons/creativecommons.github.io repository). That's it, it's live on production!

Project Structure

Here's how the code is structured in the top level of the repository:

• assets: This directory contains the JavaScript and CSS files for the project built via webpack. Most of the JavaScript and CSS is third-party code and loaded via CDN so this is pretty empty.
• content: The content of the site lives here. Here's an explanation of how content works in Lektor. This is probably what you'll be modifying most often.
• models: All content in Lektor is associated with data models to define their schema. Currently, we only use the default page model that ships with Lektor.
• templates: This is where the Jinja2 templates that render content are stored. See the Lektor template documentation for more information.
• webpack: This is where all the webpack config files as well as Sass and JavaScript files for the project resides. The JavaScript and Sass files are compiled and saved in the assets folder during lektor build process.
