 Wikis for DS-Homebrew projects
+
+## Running locally
+To test the site locally, install Jekyll by running:
+```
+gem install bundler jekyll
+```
+Then run
+```
+bundle install
+```
+Then you can run the site by running:
+```
+bundle exec jekyll serve
+```
+You may want to run with incremental building as there are a lot of pages so it takes a long time to build, note that this may cause some things to not update fully:
+```
+bundle exec jekyll serve --incremental
+```
