NeoMutt Development Docs

Development documentation for NeoMutt, built with Sphinx and hosted by Read the Docs.

Python 3, pip, and make are required. From the repository root, create a virtual environment and install the same dependencies used by Read the Docs:

python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -r docs/requirements.txt

Build the HTML documentation:

make html

The generated website is written to build/html/. To rebuild it after making changes, run make html again. Run make clean to remove generated files.

You can serve the generated website with Python's built-in web server:

python3 -m http.server 8000 --directory build/html

Then open http://localhost:8000/ in a web browser. Press Ctrl-C in the terminal to stop the server.
