To build the website

To run the built-in development server:

2. Install requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Start local development server

Pre-Semester Setup

1. Run the following to build the static site:

2. Rename the static site folder to its semester-name (i.e. F22). Delete the _old folder within this.

3. Within the docs/_data directory, set up information for course links, new staff members, and the semester's schedule. A generate_dates.py script is provided to auto-populate the schedule.yaml file with the expected format

4. Replace the Class Calendar iframe within docs/index.md with a new Google calendar.

5. Toggle which pages can be navigated to in the mkdocs.yml file under the nav section
