Building the nanoarrow documentation requires Python, R, Doxygen, and pandoc. In addition, several Python and R packages are required. You can install the Python dependencies using pip install -r requirements.txt in this directory; you can install the R dependencies using R -e 'install.packages("pkgdown").
The ci/scripts/build-docs.sh script (or the docker compose run --rm docs compose service) can be used to run all steps at once, after which sphinx-build source _build/html can be used to iterate on changes.
git clone https://github.com/apache/arrow-nanoarrow.git # Usually easiest to start with one of the docs build scripts docker compose run --rm docs # or install prerequisites and run ci/scripts/build-docs.sh # Iterate on Sphinx documentation cd docs sphinx-build source _build/html
