# Documentation Pages
The [Nominatim documentation](https://nominatim.org/release-docs/develop/) is built using the [MkDocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/) static site generation framework. The master branch is automatically deployed every night on under [https://nominatim.org/release-docs/develop/](https://nominatim.org/release-docs/develop/)
To preview local changes, first install MkDocs
```
pip3 install --user mkdocs
```
If `mkdocs` can't be found after the installation, the $PATH might have not
been set correctly yet. Try opening a new terminal session.
Then go to the build directory and run
```
make doc
INFO - Cleaning site directory
INFO - Building documentation to directory: /home/vagrant/build/site-html
```
This runs `mkdocs build` plus extra transformation of some files and adds
symlinks (see `CMakeLists.txt` for the exact steps).
Now you can start webserver for local testing
```
build> mkdocs serve
[server:296] Serving on http://127.0.0.1:8000
[handlers:62] Start watching changes
```
If you develop inside a Vagrant virtual machine:
* add port forwarding to your Vagrantfile,
e.g. `config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 8000, host: 8000`
* use `mkdocs serve --dev-addr 0.0.0.0:8000` because the default localhost
IP does not get forwarded.
