Usage

Building the book

For the first time

If you'd like to develop and/or build this Climate Risk Assesment book, you should:

  1. Clone this repository
     git clone git@github.com:CLIMAAX/crabook.git
    
  2. Go to the the crabook/ directory that was created by git in the previous step
    cd crabook
    
  3. Create a Python or Conda virtual environment (example for Conda)
     conda create -n crabook python=3.11 pip
    
  4. Activate the environment
    conda activate crabook
    
  5. Install the libraries, choose:
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    
    installs only the packages required to build the book, while
    pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
    
    additionally installs packages for the development of some components of the book, but which are not required during building.
  6. Find the markdown files and edit what you need.
  7. Remove any existing builds by running
    jupyter-book clean crabook/
    
  8. Finally build the book
    jupyter-book build crabook/
    

A fully-rendered HTML version of the book will be built in crabook/_build/html/.

Open the file crabook/_build/html/intro.html and navigate to the material you changed to check if everything is as expected.

Once you're happy with the changes, create a new branch, commit your changes and send us a pull request if you'd like to contribute.

Every next time

The Python/Conda environment is needed only for building the book, so you can activate it after editing the files.

  1. Edit the book's source files located in the crabook/ directory
    cd crabook/crabook
    
  2. Activate the environment
     conda activate crabook
    
  3. Remove any existing builds by running
    jupyter-book clean crabook/
    
  4. Finally build the book
    jupyter-book build crabook/
    

Useful notes

Table of contents switching

TLDR: To have a page show up in our production version of the CRA book, it has to be added to crabook/_toc_prod.yml.

The build process on GitHub in .github/workflows/build-deploy-book.yml contains a step to detect the repository it is started from. If this repository is CLIMAAX/crabook, the default table of contents crabook/_toc.yml is replaced by the file crabook/_toc_prod.yml. This enables us to hide pages in the production repository that are still under development in our test repository without having to edit the table of contents file back-and-forth every time changes are pushed to production.
