=================
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

.. _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


The docs have been built
========================

Check out the `build` directory to find them. Yay!
