Building Documentation

Ptolemy uses MkDocs to build documentation. Below are instructions to generate and run Ptolemy's documentation.

Before starting, you must have uv installed. If you're using a Mac, you can install uv with brew:

brew install uv

If you are using another operating system or don't want to use brew, you can find instructions on how to install uv in their documentation.

To generate Ptolemy's docs, clone the ptolemy GitHub repo:

git clone https://github.com/PtolemyLovesYou/ptolemy.git

Then, start the mkdocs server:

make docs

You should be able to find the docs at http://localhost:8080 in your web browser.
