Command line

VictorPy 0.1.32 comes with a few command line tools.

Live server

When working on your content, you don't want to manually rebuild your site content every time you make a single change.

You may want to use the live server, which will:

  • Serve your pages, live in the browser.
  • Restart automatically when you create/update a content file.

Starting the live server

In a terminal, make sure you are in your project root folder, and then type:

$ victorpy serve

Shortcut – You can also just type victorpy to start the live server.

VictorPy 0.1.32 should start quickly, build your site in memory, serve it and display a few messages on the console:

INFO VictorPy
INFO  * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)

By now, you site is live locally!

Open a browser at http://127.0.0.1:5000/ and see what you get…

Port – Optionnaly, you can specify a port number with the -p (or --port) option.

Building your site

The building process allows you to create your site HTML files, ready to upload to your server:

$ victorpy build

The site if built in the public directory (see Configuration to change this directory).
