MkDocs is a fast, simple and static site generator that's geared towards building project documentation. Documentation source files are written in Markdown, and configured with a single YAML configuration file. Oficial web: https://www.mkdocs.org/
MkDocs requires a recent version of Python and the Python package manager, pip, to be installed on your system.
You can check if you already have these installed from the command line:
$ python --version
Python 3.8.2
$ pip --version
pip 20.0.2 from /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)
If you're using a recent version of Python, the Python package manager, pip, is most likely installed by default. However, you may need to upgrade pip to the lasted version:
pip install --upgrade pip
If you need to install pip for the first time, download get-pip.py. Then run the following command to install it:
python get-pip.py
Install the mkdocs package using pip. To install MkDocs, run the following command from the command line:
pip install mkdocs
You should now have the mkdocs command installed on your system. Run mkdocs --version to check that everything worked okay.
$ mkdocs --version
mkdocs, version 1.2.0 from /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mkdocs (Python 3.8)
Make sure you're in the same directory as the mkdocs.yml configuration file, and then start the server by running the mkdocs serve command:
mkdocs serve
