# BigDL Documentation
 | 
						|
This is the repository for BigDL documentation, which is hosted at https://bigdl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
 | 
						|
## Local build
 | 
						|
### 1. Set up environment
 | 
						|
To build BigDL documentation locally for testing purposes, it is recommended to create a conda environment with specified Python version:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
conda create -n docs python=3.7
 | 
						|
conda activate docs
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Then inside [`BigDL/docs/readthedocs`](.) folder, install required packages:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
cd docs/readthedocs
 | 
						|
# for reproducing ReadtheDocs deployment environment
 | 
						|
pip install --upgrade pip "setuptools<58.3.0"
 | 
						|
pip install --upgrade pillow mock==1.0.1 "alabaster>=0.7,<0.8,!=0.7.5" commonmark==0.9.1 recommonmark==0.5.0 sphinx sphinx-rtd-theme "readthedocs-sphinx-ext<2.3"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# for other documentation related dependencies
 | 
						|
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/analytics-zoo/gha-cicd-env/main/python-requirements/requirements-doc.txt
 | 
						|
pip install -r requirements-doc.txt
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
> **Note**: When adding new sphinx extensions for our documentation, the requirements file located [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/analytics-zoo/gha-cicd-env/main/python-requrirements/requirements-doc.txt) should be modified.
 | 
						|
### 2. Build the documentation
 | 
						|
You can then build the documentation locally through:
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
make html
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
> **Tips**: If you meet building error `Notebook error: Pandoc wasn't found`, try `conda install pandoc` to resolve it.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> **Note**: The built files inside `docs/readthedocs/_build/html` dictionary should not be committed, they are only for testing purposes.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### 3. Test the documentation
 | 
						|
To view the documentation locally, you could set up a testing server:
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
cd _build/html
 | 
						|
python -m http.server 8000
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
The documentation can then be reached at [http://localhost:8000/](http://localhost:8000/).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
> **Note**: If you are setting up the testing server on a remote machine, it is recommended to forward port `8000` through VSCode, so that you could reach [http://localhost:8000/](http://localhost:8000/) normally as on your local machine. |
