Run the project locally

Step 1 - Install Python

If you are using MacOS, you probably already have a version of Python installed on your machine. You can verify this by running the following command.

$ python --version Python 2.7.2

If your version of Python is Python 2.x.x, you also need to install Python3. This is because the PDF plugin only supports Python3. Follow the instructions in this guide to install Python3 properly.

Once you are done, you will have two versions of Python on your machine; a version of python2 and a version of python3.

Step 2 - Install Pip

!!! info If pip is not already installed on your machine, download get-pip.py to install pip for the first time. Then run the following command to install it:

`$ python get-pip.py`

Pip is most likely installed by default. However, you may need to upgrade pip to the latest version:

$ pip install --upgrade pip

Step 3 - Install the pip packages

1. Navigate to the / folder.

   $ cd docs-apim/en

2. Install the required pip packages.

   This will install MkDocs and the required theme, extensions, and plugins.

   • If you are using Python2, use the following command:

     pip install -r requirements.txt
     

   • If you are using Python3, use the following command:

     pip3 install -r requirements.txt
     

Step 4 - Run MkDocs

Follow the steps below to clone the API-M documentation GitHub repository and to run the site on your local server.

1. Fork the following GitHub repository.

   https://github.com/wso2/docs-mg.git

2. Navigate to the place where you want to clone the repo.

   Git clone the forked repository.

   $ git clone https://github.com/[git-username]/docs-mg.git

3. Navigate to the folder containing the repo that you cloned in step 4.1 on a terminal window.

   For example:

   $ cd docs-mg/<Language-folder>/

   $ cd docs-mg/en/

4. Run the following command to start the server and view the site on your local server.

   $ mkdocs serve

   NOTE:

   If you are making changes and want to see them on the fly, running the server with mkdocs serve --dirtyreload option will make the server load only the changed items and display the changes faster.

5. Open the following URL on a new browser window to view the API-M documentation site locally.
