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 manuals are in subdirectories of the
``openstack-manuals/doc/`` directory.
For example, the root directory of the *OpenStack User Guide*
is ``openstack-manuals/doc/user-guide``.
To build a specific guide, look for a ``pom.xml`` file within a subdirectory,
then run the ``mvn`` command in that directory. For example::
cd openstack-manuals/doc/user-guide/
mvn clean generate-sources
The generated PDF documentation file is::
openstack-manuals/doc/user-guide/target/docbkx/webhelp/user-guide.pdf
The root of the generated HTML documentation is::
openstack-manuals/doc/src/user-guide/target/docbkx/webhelp/user-guide/content/index.html
Contributing
============
Our community welcomes all people interested in open source cloud computing,
and encourages you to join the `OpenStack Foundation <http://www.openstack.org/join>`_.
