Weiyan Shi's Homepage

Welcome to the repository for Weiyan Shi's personal homepage. Below are the instructions on how to set up the project for development and deployment.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following installed:

• Node.js: The JavaScript runtime required to run the project. Download and install it from nodejs.org.
• npm: The Node Package Manager, which is used for installing dependencies and running scripts. It comes bundled with Node.js.

To verify that Node.js and npm are properly installed, you can run the following commands in your terminal:

node --version
npm --version

Installing Dependencies

After cloning the repo, navigate to the project directory and install the necessary node modules:

npm install

Development

To start the development server, run the following command:

npm start

This will launch the application in your default web browser at http://localhost:3000.

Deployment

To deploy the application to GitHub Pages, run the following command:

npm run deploy

After running this script, the React app will be built and pushed to the gh-pages branch of your repository. GitHub will then automatically deploy the updates to your site.
