nova/doc

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 nova modules.

pip install Sphinx

Graphviz

Some of the diagrams are generated using the dot language from Graphviz.

sudo apt-get install graphviz

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

The docs have been built

Check out the build directory to find them. Yay!
