This folder contains the templates used to generate the static website for semantic-ui.com

To install DocPad, the static site generator used to create the html for the site.

npm install -g docpad
docpad install eco;
docpad update; docpad upgrade;

Before running server you will need to build your UI files for the docs. Semantic UI includes a special command to build files for a docs instance that must be run from an adjacent Semantic UI folder. for example with a directory vendor -> SemanticUI place docs folder inside vendor to reflect vendor -> SemanticUI | docs

# assumes ./docs and ./ui for default paths, run from ./ui (the folder name ./ui may be any folder that contains the Semantic UI build files)
# run gulp build-docs from the folder containing Semantic UI this will build docs into the sibling folder ./docs
gulp build-docs

The default location for build-docs is an adjacent folder with the name docs/. The command must be run from your UI folder and not from the docs folder.

To configure a different docs location modify tasks/docs.json

You can then start your docs server (and generate docs) using:

#run from inside docs folder that will now contain the compiled docs - windows users can then navigate to http://localhost:9778
docpad run

To watch for changes from your ui folder to serve to your docs instance

gulp serve-docs
