This is a development log for the main Mars Society website.

The most recent version of the website (v6) was designed by James Burk and Shawna Armstrong.

Local Workstation Setup

  • OS: I use Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 10. Set this up by downloading Ubuntu 18.04 from the Windows Store.
  • Locally installed tools:
    • Windows:
      • Visual Studio Code
      • Filezilla
      • HeidiSQL
      • Git for Windows
    • Ubuntu (within WSL)
      • Apache
      • NPM / Node
      • Gulp
      • Git
      • WP-CLI

I create a C:\Sites folder with Windows Explorer and associate that within Ubuntu by using "ln -s" to make it ~/Sites.

I set up the local Apache to host a domain such as "marssociety.test" to point to localhost with that ~/Sites directory. This allows me to easily use a browser in Windows 10 to test the local instance of the site, running on Apache.
