OpenStack Training Guides
+++++++++++++++++++++++++

This repository contains open source training manuals that can be
used to learn about the OpenStack project.

For more details, see the `OpenStack Training Guides wiki page
<https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Training-manuals>`_.

It includes these guides:

 * Associate Guide
 * Operator Guide
 * Developer Guide


Prerequisites
=============
`Apache Maven <http://maven.apache.org/>`_ must be installed to build the
documentation.

To install Maven 3 for Ubuntu 12.04 and later, and Debian wheezy and later::

    apt-get install maven

On Fedora 15 and later::

    yum install maven3

Building
========
The different guides are in subdirectories of the
``openstack-training-guides/doc/`` directory.

To build the guides, look for a ``pom.xml`` file within a subdirectory,
then run the ``mvn`` command in that directory. For example::

    cd openstack-training-guides/doc/training-guides/
    mvn clean generate-sources

The generated PDF documentation file is::

    openstack-training-guides/doc/training-guides/target/docbkx/webhelp/training-guides.pdf

The root of the generated HTML documentation is::

    openstack-training-guides/doc/training-guides/target/docbkx/webhelp/training-guides/content/index.html

Testing of changes and building of the manual
=============================================

Install the python tox package and run ``tox`` from the top-level
directory to use the same tests that are done as part of our Jenkins
gating jobs.

If you like to run individual tests, run:

 * ``tox -e checkniceness`` - to run the niceness tests
 * ``tox -e checksyntax`` - to run syntax checks
 * ``tox -e checkdeletions`` - to check that no deleted files are referenced
 * ``tox -e checkbuild`` - to actually build the manual

tox will use the openstack-doc-tools package for execution of these
tests.
