How to setup

This repository contains the source files for the pyOpenSci Python packaging guide.

Build the guidebook locally

Our guidebook is built with Sphinx which is a documentation tool and uses the pydata-sphinx-theme.

The easiest way to build our documentation is to use the nox automation tool, a tool for quickly building environments and running commands within them.

Using nox ensures that your environment has all the dependencies needed to build the documentation.

To build, follow these steps:

1. Install nox

   $ python -m pip install nox

2. Build the documentation:

   $ nox -s docs

This should create a local environment in a .nox folder, build the documentation (as specified in the noxfile.py configuration), and the output will be in _build/html.

To build live documentation that updates when you update local files, run the following command:

$ nox -s docs-live
