Installing

Easiest way is to run pip as a module (https://realpython.com/what-is-pip/#using-pip-in-a-python-virtual-environment). On Linux to install pip and this projects dependencies use:

• python3 -m venv venv to create the virtual environment
• source ./venv/bin/activate to enter it
• pip install wheel and pip install -r requirements.txt to install the libraries

Testing locally

• source ./venv/bin/activate to go into the virtual environment
• pip install -r requirements.txt to refresh latest libs
• mkdocs serve to build the documentation
• http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs
• TIP: comment out the git-committers in mkdocs.yml to speed up the build

Deploying manually

The GitHub actions take care of the re-deployments, but if you want to force it you can use:

mkdocs gh-deploy --force --strict
