IPEX-LLM Documentation

This is the repository for IPEX-LLM documentation, which is hosted at https://ipex-llm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Local build

1. Set up environment

To build IPEX-LLM documentation locally for testing purposes, it is recommended to create a conda environment with specified Python version:

conda create -n docs python=3.7
conda activate docs

Then inside ipex-llm/docs/readthedocs folder, install required packages:

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 should be modified.

2. Build the documentation

You can then build the documentation locally through:

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:

cd _build/html
python -m http.server 8000

The documentation can then be reached at 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/ normally as on your local machine.
