To download and develop yourself

This site uses middleman. After running bundle to install required gems, start middleman with:

$ bundle exec middleman server

Deploy

This site is deployed as a static page to Amazon S3. You can deploy in two steps:

  1. Build
$ STAGE=beta bundle exec middleman build
  1. Publish
$ STAGE=beta bundle exec middleman s3_sync

NOTE: The STAGE is prefixed to build an env file to use. So beta will use a file called .env-beta, and prod will use a file called .env-prod. You need to make these files, use .env-example as a template. You might also want a local .env
