To make the html documentation, install the prerequisites:
apt-get install python-sphinx texlive-latex-recommended dvipng librsvg2-bin imagemagick docbook2x graphviz
and do:
make html
If you get mpmath error, install python-mpmath package:
apt-get install python-mpmath
If you get matplotlib error, install python-matplotlib package:
apt-get install python-matplotlib
and to view it, do:
firefox _build/html/index.html
Fedora (and maybe other RPM based distributions), install the prerequisites:
dnf install python3-sphinx librsvg2 ImageMagick docbook2X texlive-dvipng-bin texlive-scheme-medium librsvg2-tools
After that, run:
make html
If you get mpmath error, install python3-mpmath package:
dnf install python3-mpmath
If you get matplotlib error, install python3-matplotlib package:
dnf install python3-matplotlib
And view it at:
_build/html/index.html
Making your sphinx build successful on the Windows system is tricky because of some dependencies like dvipng or docbook2x not available.
For Windows 10, however, the Windows Subsystem for Linux can be a possible workaround solution, and you can install Ubuntu shell on your Windows system after following up the tutorial below
https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/WSL/blob/live/WSL/install-win10.md
In your command prompt, simply run 'ubuntu' to transfer to linux terminal, and follow up the Debian/Ubuntu tutorial above to install all the dependencies, and then you can run 'make html' to build. (Note that you would also have to install 'make' via 'apt-get install make')
If you want to change directory in your prompt to your working folder of sympy in windows file system, you can prepend 'cd /mnt/' to your file path in windows, and run in your shell to navigate to the folder. (Also note that linux uses '/' instead of '\' for path)
This method would provide better compatibility than cygwin or msys2, and more convenience than a virtual machine, if you partially need linux environment for your workflow.
However this method is only viable for Windows 10 64-bit users.
