# Building The Website ## Clone Repository `git clone https://dev.libertytools.io/adminuser/libertytoolsio.git` ## Run Makefile The `Makefile` in the root of the directory will run the following two commands: ``` bash hugo server & npx -y pagefind --site public --serve ``` The first command will run and compile the `hugo` website and any changes made. The second command will build and re-index the search bar index. To build the website, simply run ``` bash make run ``` in the project root to run those two commands found in the `Makefile`. # Viewing Changes to Website Locally After running the `Makefile` you should get an output like this" ``` shell hugo server & npx -y pagefind --site public --serve Watching for changes in /path/to/libertytools_sites/dev_lt/libertytoolsio/{archetypes,content,data,layouts,static,themes} Watching for config changes in /path/to/libertytools_sites/dev_lt/libertytoolsio/config.toml, /path/to/libertytools_sites/dev_lt/libertytoolsio/themes/hugo-book/hugo.toml Start building sites … hugo v0.151.0-c70ab27ceb841fc9404eab5d2c985ff7595034b7+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=2025-10-02T13:30:36Z VendorInfo=gohugoio │ EN ──────────────────┼───── Pages │ 27 Paginator pages │ 0 Non-page files │ 65 Static files │ 106 Processed images │ 0 Aliases │ 0 Cleaned │ 0 Built in 100 ms Environment: "development" Serving pages from disk Running in Fast Render Mode.
