Contributing to this repository

Building the project locally

Installing the requirements

Install the sphinx and sphinx-autobuild python utilities:

pip install sphinx sphinx-autobuild sphinx_rtd_theme recommonmark --user

Note

The --user flag is to install these libraries into your user directory to avoid problems with your system install. You can also use virtualenv to create a per-directory python virtual environment.

Ensure that the sphinx-build and sphinx-autobuild commands are accessible to your terminal.

On Mac OS X, add the following entry to your ~/.bashrc. Be sure to use the $HOME variable and not ~ as this may cause issues running sphinx-build:

export PATH=$HOME/Library/Python/2.7/bin:$PATH

On Linux, this would probably be:

export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH

You may need to run source ~/.bashrc to ensure the access to the commands. You can add source ~/.bashrc to your ~/.bash_profile (or possibly ~/.profile) to automate this step.

Building the docs

You have two options for viewing the docs locally. You can build the docs using make html and then open the _build/html/index.html file in your browser.

Alternatively, run make livehtml and navigate to http://localhost:8000 to view the docs. The HTML is updated as you edit the Markdown source files — no browser reload required!
