Troubles with figureAltCaption when building the website. about libigl.github.io HOT 6 CLOSED

Just wanted to let you know that with the current libigl-website.yml and anaconda 4.6.11 and 4.6.14 one can build the website on macOS following the steps from https://github.com/libigl/libigl.github.io#building-the-website.

mkdocs gh-deploy works aswell!

Awesome! Yes I spent some time fixing this yesterday. I've tested it on Linux and Windows. Glad to know it works on macOS as well. I'll close this issue then.

@alecjacobson are you having trouble with the new conda environment?

from libigl.github.io.

A little bit. I think I figured out now.

The sym link on README.md threw off my local instructions, so I didn't see the conda instructions right away. Now I have it working. Quite a process just to convert markdown to html, but I guess most of it just needs to be set up once.

side issue: Is there a way to install conda without it taking over my whole shell? I don't like that it's monkeying with my bash_profile

from libigl.github.io.

Well, miniconda by itself will not add anything to your bashrc or bash_profile (I think it will ask you if you want to add anything to your bashrc during the installation process). If you don't put anything in your bashrc, you can simply enable conda when you need it by sourcing it:

source /opt/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh

And then proceed to enable the environment for the website:

conda activate libigl-website

I agree it's a bit involved, but that' about the only way to ensure we have a reproducible working environment (after all, the plugin for the figure caption already broke with the latest update of the PythonMarkdown plugin...). Now that the environment is here, it guaranteed to not break in the future, which is a big plus :D

Overwriting systems' python with anaconda is indeed not optimal.
I've baned all conda related stuff from my ~/.bash_profile (respectivly ~/.bashrc on my ubuntu workstation).

If you used homebrew cask to install anaconda it is located under /usr/local/anaconda3/. So you could run source /usr/local/anaconda3/bin/activate libigl-website to just activate the env for this repo.
