For developers, the only software requirement is to install Git on your personal computer. We recommend installing Ruby also so that you can test your NRP website locally. Data managers and data providers do not require software beyond a web browser (we find Chrome works best). More advanced users will want to install Git locally as well.

Specific Backend IT Requirements:

GitHub: Use the website GitHub.com or install GitHub software.
Jekyll: Use Jekyll to construct your webpage on GitHub. It uses the coding language Ruby.
Prose.io: Use Prose.io to create, edit, delete, and save your content directly on GitHub.

Specific Frontend IT Requirements:

U.S. Web Design Standards: U.S. Web Design Standards provides guides for developers and designers with design resources and code.
Chartist.js: Chartist is a charting library that offers customizable and responsive charts.

Recommended Skills (training links are included in the next section):

Proficiency in Github, Git, and basic web development (e.g., HTML, CSS in order to set up the tool and repository).
Proficiency in Javascript and Ruby to develop the tool.
