How to run the website locally?

Please follow the following instructions to setting up GitHub Pages to run locally:

In short...

Make sure you have Ruby 2.X.X installed.

ruby --version

Install bundler using gem.

gem install bundler 

Clone the gpconnect Git repository.

git clone https://github.com/nhsconnect/gpconnect.git

Now change into the downloaded/cloned directory and run the 'bundle install' command to install Jekyll.

Run the 'jekyll serve' command to compile and serve the HTML content.

By default pages are served from http://localhost:4005/

You will likely hit two further problems.

1. Fix warnings related to SSL certificate checking (by configuring the SSL_CERT_FILE env variable)

I followed the following instructions to download and reference a cacert.pem file.

2. Fix warnings related to the Jekyll GitHub Metadata plugin (by configuring the JEKYLL_GITHUB_TOKEN env veriable)
