# Build Documentation

## Python Dependencies

In order to generate the documentation,
first create a Python virtual environment using the
`venv` module included in Python like this.

* Create a virtual Python environment in the directory `venv` like this.

```
python3 -m venv venv
```

* Activate the virtual Python environment like this.

```
source venv/bin/activate
```

* Install the packages listed in [requirements.txt](./requirements.txt) using `pip` like this.

```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Running Generator via Make

The top level directory contains a Makefile.
Generate HTML output like this.

`````
make html
`````

Generate PDF output like this.

`````
make latexpdf
`````

The output files of the final handbook can be found in the subfolder `./build`.

All generated intermediate artifacts and the final output files can be found in the `./build` subfolder.

### Clean up

1. Deactivate the virtual Python environment: ```deactivate```
2. Clean up the build sources: ```make clean``` and ```rm -r build bundle```
