OpenStack Nova Documentation README

Included documents:

developer reference guide(devref)
man pages

Dependencies

Building this documentation can be done in a regular Nova development environment, such as the virtualenv created by run_tests.sh or tools/install_venv.py. A leaner but sufficient environment can be created by starting with one that is suitable for running Nova (such as the one created by DevStack) and then using pip to install oslosphinx.

Building the docs

From the root nova directory:

python setup.py build_sphinx

Building just the man pages

from the root nova directory:

python setup.py build_sphinx -b man

Installing the man pages

After building the man pages, they can be found in doc/build/man/. You can install the man page onto your system by following the following steps:

Example for nova-scheduler:

mkdir /usr/local/man/man1
install -g 0 -o 0 -m 0644 doc/build/man/nova-scheduler.1  /usr/local/man/man1/nova-scheduler.1
gzip /usr/local/man/man1/nova-scheduler.1
man nova-scheduler
