Prerequisites

Apache Maven must be installed to build the documentation.

To install Maven 3 for Ubuntu 12.04 and later,and Debian wheezy and later:

apt-get install maven

On Fedora 15 and later:

yum install maven3

Building

The different manuals are in subdirectories of the openstack-manuals/doc/ directory.

For example, the root directory of the OpenStack User Guide is openstack-manuals/doc/user-guide.

To build a specific guide, look for a pom.xml file within a subdirectory, then run the mvn command in that directory. For example:

cd openstack-manuals/doc/user-guide/
mvn clean generate-sources

The generated PDF documentation file is:

openstack-manuals/doc/user-guide/target/docbkx/webhelp/user-guide.pdf

The root of the generated HTML documentation is:

openstack-manuals/doc/src/user-guide/target/docbkx/webhelp/user-guide/content/index.html
