The O3DE website

Open 3D Engine Website & Documentation

This repository contains the website and documentation for Open 3D Engine (O3DE). During preview, the site and documentation are under heavy development - so don't be surprised if information is missing or sometimes breaks. If you would like to visit our official website in preview, please contact us directly for the information.

If you would like to build a local version of the site, all it takes is cloning this repo, following the local instructions, and under a minute for a build.

Otherwise, documentation is browsable in this repository at content/docs. API documentation is stored in this repository at static/docs/api, generated using the default Doxygen HTML templates. You can browse the API references without needing to install Hugo, NodeJS, or build the website.

Build the website locally

If you are working on the documentation or interested in seeing a specific branch of the documentation, you can build the O3DE website on your local machine.

To build the O3DE website locally, you need the items below.

• o3de.org repository
• Hugo (extended version), a static site generator that builds the website.
• npm (or another package manager) to install the bootstrap package, which Hugo needs for styling.

Download the repository

You can download this repository or clone it onto your local machine. Cloning the repository will copy the whole repository to your local machine. This allows you to contribute to the documentation, such as pull the latest changes, create branches, and make pull requests.

• To download, click on the green Code button on this website and select Download ZIP.
• To clone
  1. Open a terminal or shell in the directory where you want this repository to be in.
  2. Run the command git clone https://github.com/o3de/o3de.org.git.

Setup Hugo, npm, and bootstrap

1. To install Hugo (extended version), follow the instructions for your machine in the Hugo documentation.

   Note: You must install the extended version of Hugo.

2. To install npm, following the instructions in the npm documentation. Installing npm also installs nodejs.

3. To install bootstrap, run the following command in a terminal or shell in the root of your o3de.org clone: npm install bootstrap.

   Note: npm is only one way to install bootstrap. You can use other package managers to install bootstrap, such as yarn.

Build the site

1. Open a terminal or shell and navigate to the o3de.org repository.

$ cd <path-to-repo>\o3de.org

2. Run the command hugo serve.

$ hugo serve
