Prerequisites

Sphinx Documentation Generator must be installed to build the documentation. Please note that easy_install is a component of Python's Setup Tools package, which is commonly an optional install on most distributions.

To get started, you need to install all necesasary tools:

sudo apt-get install git python-pip python-dev make imagemagick libjpeg-dev inkscape

Among other things that installs ImageMagick and Inkscape.

And Sphinx necessary extensions:

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

In addition to these eggs you will need to install PlantUML

To install PlantUML run this wget process:

sudo wget \
http://sourceforge.net/projects/plantuml/files/plantuml.jar/download \
-O /sbin/plantuml.jar

PlantumUML requires java: sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre

We use Inkscape to edit SVG images and convert them to PDF but you may use any other SVG-capable tool you like. We're not picky.
