Documentation

Our documentation is written in reStructuredText and located in src/sphinx. Building the documentation requires an installation of Python and Sphinx.

The following installation instructions are for Mac OS X. If Python isn’t already installed, install Homebrew first and then Python with:

brew install python

Next, install pip:

sudo easy_install pip

and then Sphinx with:

sudo pip install sphinx

Additionally, the Sphinx Read the Docs scheme is required:

sudo pip install sphinx_rtd_scheme

Now build the documentation with:

sbt makeSite

and open target/site/index.html in your browser.
