Sphinx Documentation Generator must be installed to build the documentation. Please note that easy_install is a component of Python's Setup Tools package, which is commonly an optional install on most distributions.
To get started, you need to install Sphinx and necessary extensions:
sudo easy_install -U Sphinx
sudo easy_install -U cloud_sptheme
sudo easy_install -U sphinxcontrib-fancybox
sudo easy_install -U rst2pdf
sudo easy_install -U sphinxcontrib-blockdiag
sudo easy_install -U sphinxcontrib-actdiag
sudo easy_install -U sphinxcontrib-seqdiag
sudo easy_install -U sphinxcontrib-nwdiag
sudo easy_install -U sphinxcontrib-plantuml
Plus you will need to install PlantUML and ImageMagick.
To install PlantUML you should do:
sudo wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/plantuml/files/plantuml.jar/download /sbin/plantuml.jar
To edit SVG images we use Inkscape but you may use any other SVG-capable tool you like. We're not picky.
To build a guide in HTML format, go to its directory and then run the make command in that directory, like so:
make html
To generate the PDF file run this:
make pdf
You will find generated HTML documentation at:
_build/html
