# Documentation for the Idris Language.
This manual has been prepared using ReStructured Text and the [Sphinx Documentation Generator](http://sphinx-doc.org) for future inclusion on [Read The Docs](http://www.readthedocs.org).
## Dependencies
To build the manual the following dependencies must be met. We assume that you have standard build automation tools already install i.e. `make`.
### Sphinx-Doc
Python should be installed by default on most systems.
Sphinx can be installed either through your hosts package manager or using pip/easy_install.
*Note* [ReadTheDocs](http://www.readthedocs.org) works with Sphinx
`v1.2.2`. If you install a more recent version of sphinx then
'incorrectly' marked up documentation may get passed the build system
of readthedocs and be ignored. In the past we had several code-blocks
disappear because of that.
The ReadTheDocs theme can be installed using pip as follows:
```sh
pip install sphinx_rtd_theme
```
### LaTeX
LaTeX can be install either using your systems package manager or direct from TeXLive.
## Build Instructions
```sh
make html
make latexpdf
```
