The Gradio website ([https://gradio.app](https://gradio.app)) is built from the contents of this folder. The website is tightly coupled with the rest of the repository through several ways:
The homepage folder builds the static content of the website into standalone files, served by nginx in docker. For development purposes, instead of running docker to test changes, follow these steps in the `homepage` folder.
-`npm install`
-`npm run build` (or `npm run start` for automatic reload on change).
The website will be built in the `homepage/dist` directory. You can run a development server from this directory to launch the homepage, e.g. `python -m http.server`. See `homepage/package.json` for build steps.
## The `demos` docker
The demos folder launches all the demos embedded inside the website. The demos are loaded from the `gradio/demo` folder.
The upload_notebooks folder runs a script that uploads the demos within `gradio/demo` to Google Colab. The links generated from uploading these files are then stored in the docker env file, which is then used by the `homepage` docker container to link to the Colab notebooks from the documentation.
