# biojava.github.io The new location of the BioJava homepage, accessible at either http://biojava.org or http://biojava.github.io. ## Running Locally The website uses [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/) to generate static HTML content from Markdown. This is done automatically for the master branch of github.com/biojava/biojava.github.io, but can also be run locally for testing. ### Installation Compiling the site locally requires ruby. Install the following gems: ``` gem install github-pages ``` The `github-pages` plugin bundles all gems required for hosting, including the jekyll executable. You can immediately start a server for the content with ``` jekyll serve --incremental ``` Note that we aren't yet using bundler ([recommended by github](https://help.github.com/articles/setting-up-your-github-pages-site-locally-with-jekyll/#keeping-your-site-up-to-date-with-the-github-pages-gem)), but this would be a nice feature to configure. ## Conversion from Mediawiki All content was ported from the prior BioJava wiki following @peterjc 's [instructions and scripts](https://github.com/peterjc/mediawiki_to_git_md). ## Template We use the [HTML5 UP](http://html5up.net) template.
