All the documentation files store under folder source. There are two default file:

• conf.py: configuration file about documentation.
• index.rst: corresponding to the index page of documentation website. The rest other page need to be displaced here. For example, there is a page named param, and under folder source a file named param.rst exists, param need to be added in index.rst under .. toctree::.

Except index.rst, each other rst file correspond to a page on documentation website. Add a new rst file if you want to add a new page on a website or modify rst files to update existing page contents.

• create a virtual environment Here we demo how to create a virtual environment using built-in tool venv, you can also choose Virtualenv.

$ python3 -m venv venv

After above, we create a new virtual environment, and it is stored in folder venv under current path. Then, activate it.

$ source venv/bin/activate

Next, install required third-party packages.

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

$ cd docs
$ make html

The documentation could be generated under directory build/html.

To preview it, you can open index.html in your browser.

Or run a web server in directory build/html:

$ python -m http.server

Then open your browser to http://localhost:8000.

After a documentation changed, please use Git to store you modification and push to your remote repository, then pull a new request to repository milvus-io/pymilvus.
