You can clone the website repository to your local machine using `git`:

```
    git clone https://github.com/node-red/node-red.github.io.git

```

That will create a directory called `node-red.github.io` that contains all the source of the website.

That'll get you the docs in their raw markdown format - fairly readable plain text.

If you wanted to go above and beyond, you can install [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/) and then...

```
cd node-red.github.io.git
jekyll serve

```

That will build the documentation and start a webserver at [http://127.0.0.1:4000](http://127.0.0.1:4000) - open that in a browser and you'll have the node-red website locally.

Word of warning - to install jekyll you'll need to have a working install of ruby and depending on your OS etc, that may just be one rabbit hole too many.

On that same principle though, you can also grab the [cookbook](https://cookbook.nodered.org):

```
 git clone https://github.com/node-red/cookbook.nodered.org.git
```
