# 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
|
|
```
|
