Running the test server

The test server will convert your content directory on the fly, your changes will become visible immediately. To run it you need:

  • Python 3
  • Jinja2 and Markdown modules (can be installed by running easy_install Jinja2 Markdown from the command line)
  • A current copy of the cms repository (can be downloaded as ZIP file or cloned via git clone https://github.com/adblockplus/cms.git)

Optionally, the Werkzeug module can be installed as well, this will provide some developer features.

Run the runserver.py script from your content directory, e.g.:

python ../cms/runserver.py

Alternatively, the content directory could also be specified as command line parameter of runserver.py. This will start a local web server on port 5000, e.g. the page the page pages/example.md will be accessible under http://localhost:5000/en/example.

Note that the test server is inefficient and shouldn't be run in production. There you should generate static files as explained in the next guide, Generating Static Files.
