=================
Building the docs
=================
Dependencies
============
Sphinx_
You'll need sphinx (the python one) and if you are
using the virtualenv you'll need to install it in the virtualenv
specifically so that it can load the cinder modules.
::
pip install Sphinx
Graphviz_
Some of the diagrams are generated using the ``dot`` language
from Graphviz.
::
sudo apt-get install graphviz
.. _Sphinx: http://sphinx.pocoo.org
.. _Graphviz: http://www.graphviz.org/
Use `make`
==========
Just type make::
% make
Look in the Makefile for more targets.
Manually
========
1. Generate the code.rst file so that Sphinx will pull in our docstrings::
% ./generate_autodoc_index.sh > source/code.rst
2. Run `sphinx_build`::
% sphinx-build -b html source build/html
Use `tox`
=========
The easiest way to build the docs and avoid dealing with all
dependencies is to let tox prepare a virtualenv and run the
build_sphinx target inside the virtualenv::
% cd ..
% tox -e docs
The docs have been built
========================
Check out the `build` directory to find them. Yay!
