You can find the CIF documentation online at http://cif.readthedocs.io or build it yourself.
To build the CIF documentation you need:
-
Install Python 3.4 or higher.
-
Install Sphinx and its Read the Docs theme, e.g.:
pip3 install sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme
or in a more reliable way:
pip3 install -r docs/requirements.txt
-
Execute the following command from the source tree root directory (it should be executed each time when the documentation might be changed):
make docs
Then you can open generated documentation index "docs/_build/html/index.html" in a web browser.
