# Setup and run
> How to setup and run a docs site locally
_Note: If using VS Code, you can use the command palette instead to run the configured tasks - these are setup in `.vscode/tasks.json`._
## Install
Make sure you have Python installed - ideally a recent Python 3 version.
Install in a virtual environment.
```sh
pip install mkdocs
```
## Server docs locally
This will build the docs in memory (not to disk) and serve an auto-reloading server.
```sh
mkdocs serve
```
Open URL:
- [localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000)
## Build docs
Build docs site to `site` directory. Useful for production build or simulating that locally.
```sh
mkdocs build
```
Add this flag to remove stale files when building.
```sh
mkdocs build --clean
```
