## Run the project locally

### Step 1 - Install Python

If you are using MacOS, you probably already have a version of Python installed on your machine. You can verify this by running the following command:

```shell
$ python --version
Python 2.7.2
```

If your version of Python is Python 2.x.x, you also need to install Python3. This is because the PDF plugin only supports Python3. Follow the instructions in [this guide](https://docs.python-guide.org/starting/install3/osx/) to install Python3 properly.

Once you are done, you will have two versions of Python on your machine; a version of python2 and a version of python3.

### Step 2 - Install Pip
>
> **INFO**
>
> If pip is not already installed on your machine, download `get-pip.py` to install pip for the first time. Then run the following command to install it:
> ```shell
> $ python get-pip.py
> ```
>

Pip is most likely installed by default. However, you may need to upgrade pip to the latest version:

```shell
$ pip install --upgrade pip
```

### Step 3 - Install the pip packages

1. Navigate to the `<language-folder>/` folder.

```shell
    $ cd docs-cloud/en
    ```

2. Install the required pip packages.

This will install MkDocs and the required theme, extensions, and plugins.

- If you are using Python2, use the following command:

```shell
      $ pip install -r requirements.txt
      ```

- If you are using Python3, use the following command:

```shell
      $ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
      ```

### Step 4 - Run MkDocs

Follow the steps below to clone the API Cloud documentation GitHub repository and run the site on your local server.

1. Fork the GitHub repository: `https://github.com/wso2/docs-cloud`
2. Navigate to the place where you want to clone the repo.

Git clone the forked repository.

```shell
    $ git clone https://github.com/[git-username]/docs-cloud.git
    ```

3. Navigate to the folder containing the repo that you cloned in step 4.1 on a terminal window.

For example:

```shell
    $ cd docs-cloud/<Language-folder>/
    ```

```shell
    $ cd docs-cloud/en/
    ```

4. Run the following command to start the server and view the site on your local server.

```shell
    $ mkdocs serve
    ```

> **NOTE:**
    >
    > If you are making changes and want to see them on the fly, run the following command to start the server and view the site on your local server.
    > 1. Navigate to the `mkdocs.yml` file.
    > 2. Change the following configuration to `false` as shown below: 
    >     ```
    >     #Breaks build if there's a warning
    >     strict: false
    >     ```
    > 3. Run the following command to start the server and to make the server load only the changed items and display the changes faster. 
    >
    >    `mkdocs serve --dirtyreload`

> **NOTE:**
>
> If you are running the `mkdocs serve --dirtyreload` command to run the MkDocs server, make sure to change the configuration in the `mkdocs.yml` file as follows before sending a pull request.
>
> `strict: true`
