3 The [Nominatim documentation](https://nominatim.org/release-docs/develop/) is built using the [MkDocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/) static site generation framework. The master branch is automatically deployed every night on under [https://nominatim.org/release-docs/develop/]()
5 To preview local changes:
10 pip3 install --user mkdocs
14 2. In build directory run
18 INFO - Cleaning site directory
19 INFO - Building documentation to directory: /home/vagrant/build/site-html
22 This runs `mkdocs build` plus extra transformion of some files and adds symlinks (see `CMakeLists.txt` for the exact steps).
25 3. Start webserver for local testing
29 [server:296] Serving on http://127.0.0.1:8000
30 [handlers:62] Start watching changes
33 If you develop inside a Vagrant virtual machine:
34 * add port forwarding to your Vagrantfile, e.g. `config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 8000, host: 8000`
35 * use `mkdocs serve --dev-addr 0.0.0.0:8000` because the default localhost
36 IP does not get forwarded.
