### Install Sphinx
|
### option 1: Use the docker image
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The easiest way to build the documentation is using a docker image.
|
||||||
|
To build the image run the following in the base directory:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
make -C util/docker/ doc.coreboot.org
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Before building the documentation make sure the output directory is given
|
||||||
|
the correct permissions before running docker.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mkdir -p Documentation/_build
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To build the documentation:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
make -C util/docker docker-build-docs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To have the documentation build and served over a web server live run:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
make -C util/docker docker-livehtml-docs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
On the host machine, open a browser to the address <http://0.0.0.0:8000>.
