Vala Documentation

This is the source code repository for the Vala Documentation website.

You can view the website online here: https://docs.vala.org/

Requirements

• python3
• pip (for Python 3)

You'll also need to install Sphinx and other dependencies listed in the requirements.txt file:

pip install --user --upgrade -r requirements.txt

Getting started

1. Build the website with:

./build-docs

Note: You may need to make the ./build-docs script executable first:

chmod +x ./build-docs

or if you are using GNOME builder, you can click on the "Build" button.

2. In the build directory, open a html file in your favourite web browser. index.html contains the home page.

3. Whenever you want to rebuild the site with changes you make in source, repeat step 1.
