## Documentation
A high-level overview of how the documentation is organized organized will help you know
where to look for certain things:
- The [Technical Reference](/documentation/reference) documents APIs and other aspects of the
machinery. This documentation describes how to use the classes and functions at a lower level
and assume that you have a good high-level understanding of the software.
## Install With PIP
```python
pip install licensematrix
```
Head to https://pypi.org/project/licensematrix/ for more info
## Language information

## Building
This project uses https://github.com/FHPythonUtils/FHMake to automate most of the building. This
command generates the documentation, updates the requirements.txt and builds the library artefacts
Note the functionality provided by fhmake can be approximated by the following
```sh
handsdown --cleanup -o documentation/reference
poetry export -f requirements.txt --output requirements.txt
poetry export -f requirements.txt --with dev --output requirements_optional.txt
poetry build
```
`fhmake audit` can be run to perform additional checks
