Build

2017-01-07: Thanks to some bug in ipython/ipython#8733 to do with the ipython_savefig_dir conf option, then note that this build directory structure must exist already:

_build/html/_images
_build/latex/_images

To build the documentation on Linux or OS X run:

$ make html latexpdf

Building Documentation On Windows

Building the HTML documentation requires Sphinx and numpydoc, both of which can be installed using Anaconda:

> conda install sphinx numpydoc

If you installed QuTiP using another distribution of Python, these dependencies can also be installed using either easy_install or pip:

> easy_install install sphinx numpydoc
> pip install sphinx numpydoc

To build the HTML documentation on Windows using cmd.exe, run:

> make html

From PowerShell, run:

PS> .\make html
