Bookbinder is a command-line utility for stitching Markdown docs into a hostable web app. The PCF Docs Team uses Bookbinder to publish our docs site, but you can also use Bookbinder to view a live version of your documentation on your local machine.

Bookbinder draws the content for the site from docs-content, the subnav from docs-book, and various layout configuration and assets from docs-layout.

To use Bookbinder to view your documentation, perform the following steps:

1. Install Bookbinder by running gem install bookbindery. If you have trouble, consult the Zero to Bookbinder section to make sure you have the correct dependencies installed.
2. On your local machine, cd into docs-book in the cloned repo.
3. Run bundle install to make sure you have all the necessary gems installed.
4. Build your documentation site with bookbinder in one of the two following ways:
   • Run bundle exec bookbinder watch to build an interactive version of the docs and navigate to localhost:4567/myservice/ in a browser. (It may take a moment for the site to load at first.) This builds a site from your content repo at docs-content, and then watches that repo to update the site if you make any changes to the repo.
   • Run bundle exec bookbinder bind local to build a Rack web-app of the book. After the bind has completed, cd into the final_app directory and run rackup. Then navigate to localhost:9292/myservice/ in a browser.

If you are reading this, Pivotal has invited you to a git repo where you can build and edit documentation in the Ruby / Markdown / HTML format that the online publishing tool Bookbinder uses to build Pivotal's documentation.

Here's how to install Bookbinder and build your docs from the repo, starting from scratch, on a Mac OS X machine.

Note: All steps below are implicitly preceded with, "If you haven't already..." You should skip any installation steps that have already contributed to your environment.

In Terminal window:

1. Make and cd into a workspace directory.

   $ mkdir workspace

   $ cd workspace

2. Follow the instructions at http://brew.sh to install brew / homebrew

   $ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

3. Install your own (non-system) ruby.

   $ brew install ruby

1. Download and Install git by following the instructions at git-scm.com.

2. Install your own (non-system) bash-completion (optional).

   $ brew install git bash-completion

3. If you don't already have one, generate a public/private RSA key pair, and save the key to your ~/.ssh directory.

   $ ssh-keygen
   Generating public/private rsa key pair.
   Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/pspinrad/.ssh/id_rsa):
   

4. Get a Github account.

5. Add your RSA public key to your Github account / profile page.

   $ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub # copy and paste this into Github profile page as new key

1. Install a Ruby manager such as chruby.

   $ brew install chruby

2. Add your Ruby manager to your ~/.bashrc by appending the following line:

   source /usr/local/opt/chruby/share/chruby/chruby.sh

3. Install the ruby-install installer.

   $ brew install ruby-install

4. Run ruby-install to install Ruby 2.3.0.

   $ ruby-install ruby 2.3.0

5. Select the following Ruby version.

   chruby ruby-2.3.0

1. Install bundler.

   $ gem install bundler

2. Install bookbinder (the bookbindery gem).

   $ gem install bookbindery

1. Clone the docs template repo you will be building from.

   $ git clone [email protected]:pivotal-cf/docs-partners-template

2. cd into the book subdirectory of the repo.

   $ cd docs-partners-template/docs-book

3. Run bundle install to install all book dependencies.

   $ bundle install

4. Run bundle exec bookbinder watch to build the book on your machine.

   $ bundle exec bookbinder watch

5. Browse to localhost:4567 to view the book locally and "watch" any changes that you make to source html.md.erb files. As you make and save changes to the local source files for your site, you will see them in your browser after a slight delay.

6. After each session of writing or revising your docs source files, commit and push them to your github repo.

Happy documenting!
