Install

In order to get a copy of the code, you will need the "git" version-control program, available here. Once you have a copy of git, you can check out the code using the following command-line command:

git clone [email protected]:learning-unlimited/ESP-Website.git

(This grants you read-only access. If you are (or are interested in becoming) a regular committer, e-mail us at web-team at learningu.org to ask about checking out with read-write access.)

This will get you the "generic" code. If you want the code used by a particular branch (ex. the code used for a particular ESP site), you have to switch to that branch. To see available branches, run:

git branch -a

To switch to a branch, do:

git checkout --track -b [branchname] origin/[branchname]

(You can use "git checkout [branchname]" alone to switch between branches that you have already checked out before.)

Git has many powerful features. If you're interested in them, take a look at the [Git documentation and tutorials http://git-scm.com/documentation].

The easiest way to install the code is a script designed for Ubuntu. If you run Ubuntu or can set up a virtual machine, then these instructions should get you going.

Otherwise, take a look at the install file.
