Build Instructions

Requirements:

• Sphinx: http://sphinx-doc.org/contents.html
• version 1.2.3 or later
• LaTeX (and pdflatex, and various LaTeX packages)
• Graphviz (in particular, "dot"): http://www.graphviz.org/

On Debian and Ubuntu:

# apt-get install python-sphinx texlive texlive-latex-extra libalgorithm-diff-perl \
                 texlive-humanities texlive-generic-recommended graphviz \
                 texlive-generic-extra

If the version of python-sphinx installed is too old, then an additional new version can be installed with the Python package installer:

$ apt-get install python-pip
$ pip install --user --upgrade Sphinx
$ export SPHINXBUILD=~/.local/bin/sphinx-build

You will need latexdiff v1.2.1 or later to create the changebars PDF version of the document. Until distributions catch up with the latest release you will need to install it directly from the github repo.

$ git clone https://github.com/ftilmann/latexdiff
$ export PATH=$PWD/latexdiff/:$PATH

Export SPHINXBUILD (see above) if Sphinx was installed with pip --user, then follow Make commands below

On Mac OS X:

Install MacTeX

Install pip if you do not have it:

$ sudo easy_install pip

Install Sphinx

pip install --user --upgrade Sphinx
Or
sudo pip install --upgrade Sphinx

If you are using brew then you can install graphviz like this:

brew install graphviz

If you are using macports then you can install graphviz like this:

$ sudo port install graphviz

Make commands:

$ make latexpdf # For generating pdf
$ make html # For generating a hierarchy of html pages
$ make singlehtml # For generating a single html page

Output goes in ./build subdirectory.
