Running Locally

Run the following in a terminal:

npm install
npm start

This will start the gatsby development server at localhost:8000.

Windows Machine

If you are running Windows and you get errors when installing dependencies, make sure to globally install the Windows Build Tools:

npm install --global windows-build-tools

This will set Python & C++ up on your machine to compile some native node modules that are in the dependency tree for this project. Also, make sure you are running the latest version of npm:

npm install npm -g

Webmentions

If you want to load webmentions while running locally, be sure to set the environment variable WEBMENTIONS_TOKEN. You can do that by creating a .env file with the contents:

WEBMENTIONS_TOKEN=my_token
