Deploy a development environment on your local machine.
You can start using Unfurl in a few minutes, you just need a Linux or Mac machine with Python (2.7 or later), Git, and (for most uses) Docker installed. To install it run:
pip install unfurl
Now you can clone ensembles just like you would clone a git repository.
For this example,
https://github.com/onecommons/unfurl_site.git is the git repository containing the source code to this website. It has a folder named unfurl that contains the unfurl project that describes how to deploy a local copy of the website and its development environment.
To clone it,
unfurl clone https://github.com/onecommons/unfurl_site.git#:unfurl
This will clone the git repository into folder called unfurl_site just like git would. It will also create a new ensemble in that folder that is specific to your local machine.
Now you can deploy your local ensemble, just type:
unfurl deploy unfurl_site/unfurl
If you just installed unfurl this will take a few minutes as it creates your
unfurl_home and installs its dependencies. Then it will deploy the ensemble and the final lines of output should look like:
> Outputs:
> site_url: http://127.0.0.1:4000/
You can now visit http://127.0.0.1:4000/ to see the website you just deployed.
unfurl stop unfurl_site
