Building the documentation

Presto documentation is authored in rst format and published using Sphinx. The rst files are located in presto-docs/src/main/sphinx and sub-folders.

Prerequisites

Building the presto-docs module requires Python3 with virtual environment. You can check if you have it installed by running:

python3 -m venv --help

To install venv:

python3 -m pip install --user virtualenv

Building manually

The default build uses Apache Maven to download dependencies and generate the HTML. You can run it as follows:

cd presto-docs
mvn install

Or, to build the documentation more quickly:

cd presto-docs
./build

Viewing the documentation

When the build is complete, you'll find the output HTML files in the target/html/ folder.

To view the docs, you can open the file target/html/index.html in a web browser on macOS with

open target/html/index.html

Or, you can start a web server e.g., using Python:

cd target/html/
python3 -m http.server

and open http://localhost:8000 in a web browser.
