Install the gohugo static site generator then:

$git clone https://github.com/VisualComputing/vc
$cd vc
$git submodule update --init --recursive
$hugo server -D --disableFastRender

Deploy with $git push after redefined baseURL in config.toml which should point to your actual public remote.

The vc template uses the hugo-book theme by default. Check the hugo themes site if you wish to add other ones.
If you forked the repo don’t forget to activate the actions.
If you changed the repo named don’t forget to update all the js related (both sketches and assets) urls.
