A built version of document is available at http://mxnet.dmlc.ml
The Dockerfile in this directory encapsulates all the dependencies needed to build the docs. The default entrypoint builds the docs and serves them through a simple HTTP server for previewing.
docker build -t mxnet/docs . docker run -it -p 8008:8008 mxnet/docs open http://localhost:8008/
If you are working on the docs and want to rebuild them without creating a new docker image each time, you can do this with
docker run -it -p 8008:8008 -v `pwd`:/opt/mxnet/docs mxnet/docs
which maps your current directory into the docker image to get any local changes.
NOTE: Any changes to the API reference will not get rebuilt this way. The API reference docs are introspected from the built binaries, which in this Dockerfile are pulled from github/dmlc/master. To work-around this, map a volume with your code changes into the container, and rebuild MXNet in the container before doing the doc build. Or use the local build described below.
To build the documentation without docker on your local machine, first install the required packages for Ubuntu 14.04. These are approximately:
sudo apt-get install doxygen python-pip sudo pip install sphinx==1.3.5 CommonMark==0.5.4 breathe mock==1.0.1 recommonmark
(Refer to the Dockerfile for a more reliable description of the dependencies.) Once the MXNet binaries are built, and you have the dependencies installed, you can build the docs with:
make html
