# How to create a live system to work on the documentation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are several ways how to setup your development environment, here are the currently used once by the testing team:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Vagrant
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For now here is the link to [Trevor's vagrant box setup](https://github.com/tcooper/rocky-linux-wikibox), this might be merged here in the future!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## WSL
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Make sure the Windows Subsystem for Linux is enabled on your machine
|
||||||
|
- Download the [Cloud image](https://github.com/rocky-linux/sig-cloud-instance-images/actions/workflows/build.yml)
|
||||||
|
- Get the actual disk out of the image (extract rocky-8.5-docker.tar)
|
||||||
|
- Run `wsl --import <machine-name> <path-to-vm-dir> <path-to/rocky-8.5-docker.tar> --version 2` to create the machine
|
||||||
|
- Run `wsl -d <machine-name>` to initially login to the machine
|
||||||
|
- Run `dnf -y update` to update the system
|
||||||
|
- Run `dnf -y install git python39-pip` to install Python 3.9 and pip
|
||||||
|
- Run `python3.9 -m pip install -U pip` to update pip
|
||||||
|
- Clone the repo `git clone <path-to-git-project>`
|
||||||
|
- And get into the folder of the repo `cd <git-project-name>`
|
||||||
|
- Sometimes you will need to switch the branch here
|
||||||
|
- Install all the requirements of the repo `python3.9 -m pip install -r requirements.txt`
|
||||||
|
- If you just want to look at the output run `mkdocs serve 2>&1 | tee ./mkdocs.serve.log`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To develop then, the easiest way is to use VS Code with the [Remote - WSL](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-wsl), where you have to open the repo in the container (click on the Remote symbol on the lower left, 'Open folder in WSL...').
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And finally run `mkdocs serve 2>&1 | tee ./mkdocs.serve.log` in the terminal of this VS Code session. Then you are ready to start changing stuff!
