If you believe you have found a security issue in any of our open source projects, please responsibly disclose it by contacting [email protected].

Running the docs locally

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.

2. Install NodeJS, Yarn, Hugo, & Asset Pipeline Tools

   The InfluxData documentation uses Hugo, a static site generator built in Go. The site uses Hugo's asset pipeline, which requires the extended version of Hugo along with NodeJS tools like PostCSS, to build and process stylesheets and JavaScript.

   To install the required dependencies and build the assets, do the following:

   1. Install NodeJS

   2. Install Yarn

   3. In your terminal, from the docs-v2 directory, install the dependencies:

      cd docs-v2
      yarn install

      Note: The most recent version of Hugo tested with this documentation is 0.122.0.

3. To generate the API docs, see api-docs/README.md.

4. Start the Hugo server

   Hugo provides a local development server that generates the HTML pages, builds the static assets, and serves them at localhost:1313.

   In your terminal, start the Hugo server:

   npx hugo server

5. View the docs at localhost:1313.
