A template repo for making archival websites
- Git: https://git-scm.com
This is the version control system we'll use to edit the website. You'll need it locally - you can see if you already have it by opening a terminal and running git --version
You'll need version 2.5
at least to run archival. You can check your version by running ruby --version
.
- Bundler: https://bundler.io
Once you have ruby
, you can run gem install bundler
to get this.
