How to run angularjs material documentation locall

Question

I have compiled the newest angularjs material and find out that links in the doc all point to absolute URL material.angularjs.org/.... I want to be able to read the doc and demo content locally.

Answer 1

Follow these steps (for Windows users):

• Install git, Node v6.10.3

  Git https://git-for-windows.github.io/

  Node v6.10.3 https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v6.10.3/

• Install dependencies npm,glub and http-server(use cmd or PowerShell)

  npm Insatall npm install npm@3.10.10

  gulp Insatall npm install --global gulp-cli

  http-server Insatall npm install http-server -g

• Clone the angular-material repository:

  git clone https://github.com/angular/material.git

• Build the repository:

  cd material
npm install

• Build the docs:

  gulp build; gulp docs; gulp watch --dev

• run the docs:

  cd dist/docs; http-server

Then simply go to http://192.168.42.130:8080 or http://127.0.0.1:8080

You can generate the offline documentation by following the below steps:

• Install git, nodejs and npm

• Install gulp:
  npm install --global gulp-cli

• Clone the angular-material repository:
  git clone https://github.com/angular/material.git

• Build the repository:
  cd material
npm install

• Build the docs:
  gulp watch site --dev

Currently the documentation building task is failing. I have submitted a issue here. Follow this to see what workaround or update they provide.

Update:
As per the response here, you'll need to install node v6.10.3 and npm 3.10.10 for building the docs locally. Install these specific versions and follow the above steps.

You can clone the repo : https://github.com/angular/material

and then launch with your webserver the docs dir that has all resources generated for the documentation.

There is even a README in the doc dir : https://github.com/angular/material/blob/master/docs/README.md
