Installation

Best approach is to install mkdocs in a virtual environment (venv directory):

• Python 3

  virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 venv
  

• Install mkdocs and dependencies

  ./venv/bin/pip install mkdocs==1.4.2 jinja2==3.1.2 "Markdown<3.4.0" mkdocs-material==8.5.10
  

Content

In order for content to show up, it needs to be added to the configuration, i.e., in the pages section of the mkdocs.yml file.

Some pointers:

• Images and media
• Linking
• mkdocs.yml

Build

mkdocs is used to generate HTML from the markdown documents and images:

./venv/bin/mkdocs build --clean

Testing

You can test what the site looks like, using the following command and opening a browser on localhost:8000:

mkdocs monitors setup and markdown files, so you can just add and edit them as you like, it will automatically rebuild and refresh the browser.

./venv/bin/mkdocs build --clean && ./venv/bin/mkdocs serve

Deploying

Any push will trigger a rebuild of the site on github via github actions:

.github/workflows/main.yml
