Prerequisites
=============
To build the documentation, you must install
`Apache Maven <http://maven.apache.org/>`_.
To install Maven 3 for Ubuntu 12.04 or later or Debian 7 ("wheezy") or later::
apt-get install maven
On Fedora 20 or later::
yum install maven
To run tests, you must install `Python Tox <https://tox.readthedocs.org/>`_.
To install Tox for Ubuntu 14.04 or later::
apt-get install python-tox python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev
Build and update API docs
=========================
To complete code reviews in this repository, use the standard OpenStack Gerrit
`workflow <https://review.openstack.org>`_ . For details, see
`Gerrit Workflow <http://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html#development-workflow>`_.
To build and update the API documents:
#. Open a Terminal window.
#. Change into a directory where you want to clone api-site.
#. Run this command to clone openstack/api-site::
git clone https://github.com/openstack/api-site
#. CD into the api-site directory.
#. Run these commands to ensure that you have the latest changes::
git remote update
git checkout master
git pull origin master
#. To check out a new branch::
git checkout -b "*my_branch*"
Otherwise, to check out an existing review::
git review -d change-number /* where change-number is the change number of the review
#. Make your changes.
#. Run this command to build the docs locally::
mvn clean generate-sources
#. To check in your changes, see
`Gerrit Workflow <http://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html#development-workflow>`_.

Run tests
=========
To use the same tests that are used as part of our Jenkins gating jobs,
install the Python tox package and run ``tox`` from the top-level directory.
To run individual tests:
* ``tox -e checkniceness`` - Niceness tests
* ``tox -e checksyntax`` - Syntax checks
* ``tox -e checkdeletions`` - Verifies that no deleted files are referenced
* ``tox -e checkbuild`` - Builds the manual
To run these tests, the Tox package uses the
`OpenStack doc tools package <https://github.com/openstack/openstack-doc-tools>`_.
The OpenStack doc tools require Maven for the build check.
