Installation on Mac OS X

How to install and display locally the NIEM.github.io repository.

• Clone the NIEM.github.io repository locally

• Install Macports

  See https://www.macports.org/install.php and do what it says.

• Install the right packages

  • Ruby

    On a Mac, things can get messed up if you add and remove and update packages in the system's installation of Ruby. So, we install a separate Ruby installation just for this effort.

  $ sudo port install ruby23

  This will install RugyGems as /opt/local/bin/gem2.3.

• Install the right gems

  $ sudo /opt/local/bin/gem2.3 install github-pages bundler

  This includes:

  • github-pages: All the basics for viewing GitHub Pages, including Jekyll
  • bundler: Manager of Ruby package dependencies
