# Generation of LAMMPS Documentation
The generation of all the documentation is managed by the Makefile inside the
`doc/` folder.
## Usage:
```bash
make html # generate HTML using Sphinx
make pdf # generate PDF using htmldoc
make clean # remove generated RST files
make clean-all # remove entire build folder and any cached data
```
## Installing prerequisites
To run the documention build toolchain, Python 3 and virtualenv have
to be installed. Here are instructions for common setups:
### Ubuntu
```bash
sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
```
### Fedora (up to version 21), Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS (up to version 7.x)
```bash
sudo yum install python3-virtualenv
```
### Fedora (since version 22)
```bash
sudo dnf install python3-virtualenv
```
### MacOS X
## Python 3
Download the latest Python 3 MacOS X package from https://www.python.org and install it.
This will install both Python 3 and pip3.
## virtualenv
Once Python 3 is installed, open a Terminal and type `pip3 install virtualenv`. This will
install virtualenv from the Python Package Index.
