Prerequisites
=============
To build the documentation, you must install `Apache Maven <http://maven.apache.org/>`_.
To install Maven 3 for Ubuntu 12.04 or later or Debian 7 ("wheezy") or later::
apt-get install maven
On Fedora 20 or later::
yum install maven
To run tests, you must install `Python Tox <https://tox.readthedocs.org/>`_.
To install Tox for Ubuntu 14.04 or later::
apt-get install python-tox python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev
"Writing your First OpenStack Application" tutorial
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To build the "Writing your first OpenStack application" tutorial, you must
install `Graphviz <http://www.graphviz.org/>`_.
To install Graphviz for Ubuntu 12.04 or later or Debian 7 ("wheezy") or later::
apt-get install graphviz
On Fedora 22 and later::
dnf install graphviz
On openSUSE::
zypper install graphviz
On Mac OSX with Homebrew installed::

Build and update API docs
=========================
To complete code reviews in this repository, use the standard OpenStack Gerrit
`workflow <https://review.openstack.org>`_ . For details, see
`Gerrit Workflow <http://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html#development-workflow>`_.
To build and update the API documents:
#. Open a Terminal window.
#. Change into a directory where you want to clone api-site.
#. Run this command to clone openstack/api-site::
git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/api-site
#. CD into the api-site directory.
#. Run these commands to ensure that you have the latest changes::
git remote update
git checkout master
git pull origin master
#. To check out a new branch::
git checkout -b "*my_branch*"
Otherwise, to check out an existing review::
git review -d change-number /* where change-number is the change number of the review
#. Make your changes.
#. Run this command to build the docs locally::
mvn clean generate-sources
#. To check in your changes, see
`Gerrit Workflow <http://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html#development-workflow>`_.
- The root of the generated HTML (API site) documentation is::
api-site/api-ref/target/docbkx/html/api-ref.html
- The root of the generated API guide (in progress) is::
api-site/api-guide/target/docbkx/webhelp/api-guide/index.html
- The generated PDFs for the API pages are at::
api-site/api-ref-guides/target/docbkx/pdf/*.pdf
- The root of the API quick start is at::
api-site/api-quick-start/target/docbkx/webhelp/api-quick-start-onepager-external/api-quick-start-onepager.pdf
Run tests
=========
To use the same tests that are used as part of our Jenkins gating jobs,
install the Python tox package and run ``tox`` from the top-level directory.
To run individual tests:
* ``tox -e checkniceness`` - Niceness tests
* ``tox -e checksyntax`` - Syntax checks
* ``tox -e checkdeletions`` - Verifies that no deleted files are referenced
* ``tox -e checkbuild`` - Builds the manual
To run these tests, the Tox package uses the
`OpenStack doc tools package <https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/openstack-doc-tools>`_.
The OpenStack doc tools require Maven for the build check.
