A student-run organization at Binghamton University created to foster a community of individuals who solve problems through the innovative use of technology.

Install

In addition to cloning the HackBU repository, you'll need a few things to run HackBU locally:

1. Ruby - Jekyll requires Ruby. If you're on a Mac, you most likely have Ruby. You can confirm this by running ruby --version in the command line. Follow these instructions to install Ruby if needed.

2. Bundler - Bundler is a package manager that makes versioning Ruby software like Jekyll a lot easier and is highly recommended if you're going to be building GitHub Pages sites locally. If you don't already have Bundler installed, you can install it by running the command gem install bundler.

3. Jekyll - Run the command bundle install in the project directory to download and install Jekyll. (Try using sudo bundle install if you run into problems.)

You can start the Jekyll server with bundle exec jekyll serve --watch. See the Jekyll documentation for more information.
