## Building the docs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You don't need to build and test the docs as long as you make sure the syntax is correct. But in case you do want to build the docs, feel free to do so.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You'll need to install mkdocs for which you can check the [mkdocs installation guide](https://www.mkdocs.org/#installation). Generally it's best to install it using `pip`. You'll also need to install the correct dependencies.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Example using a Debian based distro
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### 1. Install pipenv and dependencies
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
pip install pipenv
|
||
|
|
pipenv sync
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### 2. (Optional) Activate the virtual environment
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since dependencies are installed in a virtual environment, you can't use them directly. To use them you should either prefix the command with `pipenv run`, or activate the virtual environment for current shell by executing `pipenv shell` once.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### 3. Build the docs using the script
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
[pipenv run] make all
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### 4. Serve the files
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A folder `site` containing the static html pages will have been created. You can serve them from a server by pointing your server software (nginx, apache...) to this location. During development, you can run locally with
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
[pipenv run] mkdocs serve
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This handles setting up an http server and rebuilding when files change. You can then access the docs on <http://127.0.0.1:8000>
