Downloading the Repository
Simply check out the Blender Manual’s repository using:
cd ~
svn checkout https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-manual/trunk/blender_docs
The repository will now be downloaded which may take a few minutes depending on your internet connection.
Setting up the Build Environment
Open a Terminal window.
Enter the
blender_docs
folder which was just added by the SVN checkout:cd ~/blender_docs
Inside that folder is a file called
requirements.txt
which contains a list of all the dependencies we need. To install these dependencies, we can use thepip3
command:sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Obs
Every now and then you may want to make sure your dependencies are up to date using:
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt --upgrade
