First runbundle exec rake build from the root of the project, then navigate to thebuild directory.

You can preview the JSON in the browser by runningpython -m http.server 8080 and browsing tolocalhost:8080 (this requires python 3 to be installed).

The files are generated asindex.json but github pages serves them as the root for that path. SeeMaking a JSON API with Github Pages.

If you want to see what it looks like on github pages, you can fork the repo and runbundle exec rake publish to update thegh-pages branch.
