A Github Website

Going to make an attempt at hosting a website on github.

Changing a notebook to a post

The zeroth step is to have a notebook with an appropriate layout Then convert to markdown with

cd code/_notebooks/
jupyter nbconvert --to markdown --no-prompt notebook.ipynb 
mv notebook.md ../_posts/YYYY-MM-DD-notebook.md

If the notebook has images move them to the images folder.

mv notebook_files/ ../../assets/images/

Then you have to rename where the images are coming from. So inside the markdwn file, run a command like

% s/notebook_files//\/assets\/images\/notebook_files/g

Finally, if you did df.head() anywhere, clear the border so the formatting works by running

% s/ border=\"1\"//g

Selecting code themes

To change code themes

rougify style <theme-name> >> assets/css/syntax.css

To get a list of theme names,

rougify help style

I've since edited syntax.css to make it look more like a jupyter notebook output.

Ruby stuff

Ruby frustrates me so much compared to python. This is being updated for instructions used on Ubuntu 20.04.1. I got rbenv installed just using apt and then installed ruby-build into the ~/.rbenv/plugins directory just by cloning it there.

I then did

rbenv install 2.7.0
rbenv global 2.7.0

For consistency sake with earlier README versions I ran

gem install bundler -v 2.1.4

but the command

bundler install

in this repo failed because of an ffi verison. So then I ran

sudo apt-get install libffi-dev

and then I could bundler install.
