Running OCamlverse Locally

OCamlverse is built with Jekyll, a popular static site generator that originally powered GitHub Pages.

If you want to run OCamlverse (e.g. to preview some changes you've made) all you need to do is:

• Install Ruby (Jekyll is written in Ruby)
• Run the following shell commands in OCamlverse's source folder:

$ bundle
$ bundle exec jekyll serve

At this point you can point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:4000 and view the locally running site.

Note: If you are using Ruby version 3 or above, you will need to add the webrick gem to the Gemfile prior to running bundle install.
