Documentation build instructions

################################



.. todo add comment re not using standards here.



`Clear Linux\* OS documentation`_ is written using `reStructuredText`_ and

built using `Sphinx`_. Follow the instructions in this README to build the

documentation locally for development and testing.



Please make yourself familiar with our `contribution guidelines`_ before

submitting a contribution.



Clone the documentation repository

**********************************



Clone the documentation repository to your local machine.



.. code-block:: bash



   git clone https://github.com/clearlinux/clear-linux-documentation



Requirements

************



Make sure you have Python 3 installed to start.



The Sphinx documentation provides `instructions for installing Sphinx`_

on various platforms.



Use pip3 to install additional Python dependencies listed in the

requirements.txt file found in the repository:



.. code-block:: bash



   pip3 install -r requirements.txt



Run the build

*************



We build our documentation using Sphinx. In the source directory of your

local clear-linux-documentation repository, preview changes to the

documentation by building the docs in the default language (English) by

running ``make html``:



.. code-block:: bash



   make html



.. code-block:: console



   sphinx-build -b html -d _build/doctrees   . _build/html

   Running Sphinx v1.8.0

   making output directory...

   .

   .

   .

   build succeeded, 0 warnings.



   The HTML pages are in _build/html.



   Build finished. The HTML pages are in _build/html.



Open one of the HTML pages found in ``source/_build/html`` in a web browser

to view the rendered documentation.



This build will generate several warnings as there are two other optional make commands required to build the full documentation.



1. ``make py`` to generate the bundle reference material.

2. ``make man`` to generate man page reference material.



To build the documentation exactly as seen on the website, use

``make man``, ``make py``, and ``make htmlall``. This builds both

external dependencies and all supported languages.



Use virtualenv 

**************



To develop documentation in a ``virtualenv``, use the ``venv`` target.

The Clear Linux OS documentation make target ``venv`` provides a 

simple development environment that ensures that you have the 

latest packages and that you manage Python versions separately. Use of the 

``virtualenv`` requires **Python 3.6** or higher. For Windows examples below, use Powershell as an Administrator.



The **virtual environment** uses the same version of Python that was used to **create the virtual environment**. 



Verify ``pip`` is installed. A file path to pip should appear. 



On Clear Linux OS and macOS\*:



.. code-block:: bash



   which pip

   

On Windows\* 10 OS: 



.. code-block:: bash



   pip --version



If ``pip`` is not installed, install it. 



On Clear Linux OS and macOS:



.. code-block:: bash



   python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade pip



On Windows 10 OS: 



.. code-block:: bash



   py -m pip install --upgrade pip



.. note::



   This assumes Python was already added to your Windows path. 



Install virtualenv 

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



Install ``virtualenv``. 



On Clear Linux OS and macOS\*:



.. code-block:: bash



   python3 -m pip install --user virtualenv



On Windows 10 OS: 



.. code-block:: bash



   py -m pip install --user virtualenv



Create the ``virtualenv`` and install the required packages: 



.. code-block:: bash



   make venv



Activate the ``venv``. 



.. code-block:: bash



   source venv/bin/activate



Follow `Run the build`_ section to start developing documentation.



Remove the ``venv`` when finished developing.  



.. code-block:: bash



   deactivate



Additional help

***************



Cleaning up

===========



When testing changes in the documentation, make sure to remove the previous

build before building again by running ``make clean``:



.. code-block:: bash



   make clean



This will completely remove the previous build output, including artifacts 

from the `make venv` target when done outside an active venv.



Before running ``make man``, please run ``make clean-man`` to clear out any

previous attempts.



Convenience script

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



This bash script (Linux only) includes both ``make clean`` and

``make html``. It also starts a simple Python web server that

displays a preview of the site at http://localhost:8000 on your local machine.



.. code-block:: bash



   ./checkwork.sh



To stop the web server simply use ``ctrl-c``.
