Introduction

The website with the training material can be run locally. Sometimes, it is also interesting to freeze the tutorials or to get PDFs of the tutorials.

Agenda

In this tutorial, you will learn how to run a local instance of the GTN website:

1. Introduction
2. Generate PDFs artifact

Generate PDFs artifact

To generate the PDFs, a command make pdf is given. This command:

• Launches a detached Jekyll server to serve the website
• Generates the PDFs of the tutorials by calling Chrome via command line
• Generates the PDFs of the slide decks by calling decktape

Hands-on: Checking the website generation locally

1. Install a browser
2. Generate the PDFs: make pdf
3. Check the generated PDFs in _pdf folder

Key points

• PDFs can be easily generated for the different tutorials to share with learnees or to keep a fixed version of a tutorial

Galaxy Administrators: Install the missing tools

You can use Ephemeris's shed-tools install command to install the tools used in this tutorial.

shed-tools install [-g GALAXY] [-a API_KEY] -t <(curl https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/api/topics/contributing/tutorials/generating-pdf/tutorial.json | jq .admin_install_yaml -r)

Alternatively you can copy and paste the following YAML

---
install_tool_dependencies: true
install_repository_dependencies: true
install_resolver_dependencies: true
