# Zero to Data 8

This repository hosts the content and website for Zero to Data 8, the guide to deploying your own Data 8 course infrastructure.

All of the content resides in `content/` and is hosted online at `data8.org/zero-to-data-8`.

## Install software to build the book

Building this book requires the latest beta version of Jupyter Book. You can install it locally here:

```
pip install -U "jupyter-book>=0.7.0"
```

See [the jupyter book documentation](https://jupyterbook.org) for more information.

## To make changes to this book

All of the book content is in the `content/` folder.

The `_toc.yml` file contains the table of contents for the book. If you add pages, then update this file.

The `_config.yml` file contains the book's configuration. It controls many other aspects of the book.

To make changes to the book's content:

1. Edit the files in `content/` that you wish to change. If you add a **new**

   file, make sure to add a new entry for it in `_toc.yml`.
2. Run `jupyter-book build .`. This will update the book's built markdown files.
3. Push to github.

That's it!
