Before building the documentation, make sure you have Python 2.7, the awscli, and all the necessary dependencies installed. You can install dependencies by using the requirements-docs.txt file at the root of this repo:

pip install -r requirements-docs.txt

The process for building the documentation is:

• Run make html which will build all of the HTML documentation into the build/html directory.
• Run make man which will build all of the man pages into ../doc/man/man1. These files are included in the source distribution and installed by python setup.py install.
• Run make text which will build all of the text pages that are used for interactive help on the Windows platform. These files are included in the source distribution and installed by python setup.py install.

You can perform all of these tasks by running make all in this directory. If you have previously built the documentation and want to regenerate it, run make clean first.
