Koinos Documentation

This repo contains the Koinos documentation site. This site is built using MkDocs.

MkDocs is a Python utility to generate a simple website from Markdown content. All Koinos documentation is done in Markdown, so no web development experience is required to contribute to the documentation.

Installation

Setup Virtual Environment

Newer versions of Python now require use of Python virtual environments (in addition to them being best practices for a while now). Start by creating a new virtual environment. It can located anywhere called anything you want, but docs-venv is ignored by git for this project.

python3 -m venv docs-venv

This will create a new venv in the directory docs-venv. To use the venv, you must first activate it.

source docs-venv/bin/activate

When you are done with the venv, you can deactivate it.

deactivate

Run Koinos Docs

With the created venv active...

  1. Install dependencies.
pip install -r requirements.txt
  1. Run MkDocs.
mkdocs serve

This will serve a local version of the site to http://localhost:8000/. Changes you make to the site will be automatically reflected here allowing for instant feedback.

Build Koinos Docs

MkDocs can also build Koinos Docs as a static site that can be served using Apache.

mkdocs build
