# Preview changes to the lesson locally

The lesson website is built through Github and Jekyll. 



__Option 1:__ follow the Carpentries setup: http://carpentries.github.io/lesson-example/setup.html 

The detailed instructions are listed in the "Jekyll Setup for Lesson Development" section.   



__Option 2:__ use a Docker container

1. Open a Shell window. 

2. Navigate to the `rna-seq-lesson/` folder using the `cd` command.

3. Since the lesson relies Jekyll 3.8.5, type within the Shell `export JEKYLL_VERSION=3.8.5`.

4. Make sure you have Docker for Windows or Mac installed: https://docs.docker.com/install/

5. With the Docker Desktop application running (you should see a little whale with containers at the top of your screen), type `docker run --rm --volume="$PWD:/srv/jekyll" -p 4000:4000 -it jekyll/jekyll:$JEKYLL_VERSION jekyll serve`  

6. Open a web browser and type `http://0.0.0.0:4000/` in the navigation bar. You should see the lesson website. Your changes should be automatically reflected online.
