Building docs

This page explains the steps that are needed to build Cutter's documentation.

Requirements

You will need:

  • doxygen

  • python3

  • pip3

    • sphinx
    • breathe
    • recommonmark

On Debian-based Linux distributions, the packages above can be installed with the following command.

.. code:: sh

sudo apt install make doxygen python3-pip doxygen sudo pip3 install sphinx breathe recommonmark

Then, you can build the documentation with the following commands:

.. code:: sh

cd cutter/docs/ make html

.. tip::

If you do not need API documentation, type make quick instead of make html.

You can find the generated html files at cutter/docs/build. Open cutter/docs/build/html/index.html with your browser to visit the index file of your local copy of the documentation.
