h1. Arvados documentation

This is the source code for "doc.arvados.org":http://doc.arvados.org.

Here's how to build the HTML pages locally so you can preview your updates before you commit and push.

Additional information is available on the "'Documentation' page on the Arvados wiki":https://dev.arvados.org/projects/arvados/wiki/Documentation.

h2. Install dependencies

<pre>
arvados/doc$ bundle install
arvados/doc$ pip install epydoc
</pre>

h2. Generate HTML pages

<pre>
arvados/doc$ rake
</pre>

Alternately, to make the documentation browsable on the local filesystem:

<pre>
arvados/doc$ rake generate baseurl=$PWD/.site
</pre>

h2. Run linkchecker

If you have "Linkchecker":http://wummel.github.io/linkchecker/ installed on
your system, you can run it against the documentation:

<pre>
arvados/doc$ rake linkchecker baseurl=file://$PWD/.site
</pre>

Please note that this will regenerate your $PWD/.site directory.

h2. Preview HTML pages

<pre>
arvados/doc$ rake run
[2014-03-10 09:03:41] INFO  WEBrick 1.3.1
[2014-03-10 09:03:41] INFO  ruby 2.1.1 (2014-02-24) [x86_64-linux]
[2014-03-10 09:03:41] INFO  WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=8926 port=8000
</pre>

Preview the rendered pages at "http://localhost:8000":http://localhost:8000.

h2. Publish HTML pages inside Workbench

(or some other web site)

You can set @baseurl@ (the URL prefix for all internal links), @arvados_cluster_uuid@, @arvados_api_host@ and @arvados_workbench_host@ without changing @_config.yml@:

<pre>
arvados/doc$ rake generate baseurl=/doc arvados_api_host=xyzzy.arvadosapi.com
</pre>

Make the docs appear at {workbench_host}/doc by creating a symbolic link in Workbench's @public@ directory, pointing to the generated HTML tree.

<pre>
arvados/doc$ ln -sn ../../../doc/.site ../apps/workbench/public/doc
</pre>

h2. Delete generated files

<pre>
arvados/doc$ rake realclean
</pre>
