The Divvun and Giellatekno teams build language technology aimed at minority and indigenous languages
Nikola is a static site generator written in Python 3.
Our Indigenous langtech site uses Nikola for generating the content of that site.
Installing Nikola makes it convenient to make new pages and posts and to have a look at the content of the site.
pip3 install --user Nikola
pip3 install --user "Nikola[extras]"
If pip3 does not exist, write
pip3
then press tab to get the minor version.
If you don’t have any pip3.x version, run
port search pip|grep py3
Install the newest possible one (mine is py36-pip)
sudo port install py36-pip
Then do
port select --list python3
Again, use the highest version (mine is python36)
sudo port select --set python3 python36
You should now be ready to install nikola.
To make Nikola work as forrest run, do
cd $GTHOME/xtdoc/indigenous-langtech
nikola auto
Open http://localhost:8000 and see the front page reveal itself in all it’s glory.
open pages/index.rst

Run
nikola new_page
nikola tells you to fill in some basic information, then quits and tells where the page is found.
Open and edit the new page by running

When done editing, remember to check it in.
