Building Librarian

Once you're satisfied with how your Librarian installation looks in development mode, you can build the static version of your site using the build command.

The builder settings are defined within the config/static.php config file:

    'output_path' => __DIR__ . '/../public',
    'assets_path' => __DIR__ . '/../app/Resources/public'

Where output_path defines where the content will be saved, and the assets_path defines where to find the resources that should be copied into the public document root, such as images and scripts. You don't need to change these values.

Building your Static Site

To build your site, run the following command:

./librarian build

You should get output showing each step of the build process:

Finished building static website at /home/erika/Projects/librarian-docs/public.

When the build is finished, you can check your public/ directory for the static output. This should be your document_root if you are deploying your site on a regular web server.
