Documentation
*************
* Python and C documentation is built using `Sphinx <http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/>`_.
* Each document is written in `reStructuredText <http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/basics.html>`_.
* The documentation is the ``doc/`` directory.
* You can build it locally using ``make html`` command.
.. code-block:: bash
make html
Run ``make help`` to learn about the other commands.
The online document is hosted by `Read the Docs <https://readthedocs.org/>`__ where the imported project is managed by `Hyunsu Cho <https://github.com/hcho3>`__ and `Jiaming Yuan <https://github.com/trivialfis>`__.
=========================================
Build the Python Docs using pip and Conda
=========================================
#. Create a conda environment.
.. code-block:: bash
conda create -n xgboost-docs --yes python=3.10
.. note:: Python 3.10 is required by `xgboost_ray <https://github.com/ray-project/xgboost_ray>`__ package.
#. Activate the environment
.. code-block:: bash
conda activate xgboost-docs
#. Install required packages (in the current environment) using ``pip`` command.
.. code-block:: bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
.. note::
It is currently not possible to install the required packages using ``conda``
due to ``xgboost_ray`` being unavailable in conda channels.
.. code-block:: bash
conda install --file requirements.txt --yes -c conda-forge
#. (optional) Install `graphviz <https://www.graphviz.org/>`__
.. code-block:: bash
conda install graphviz --yes
#. Eventually, build the docs.
.. code-block:: bash
make html
You should see the following messages in the console:
.. code-block:: console
$ make html
sphinx-build -b html -d _build/doctrees . _build/html
Running Sphinx v6.2.1
...
The HTML pages are in _build/html.
Build finished. The HTML pages are in _build/html.

* Use cases and examples are in `demo <https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/tree/master/demo>`_ directory.
* We are super excited to hear about your story. If you have blog posts,
tutorials, or code solutions using XGBoost, please tell us, and we will add
a link in the example pages.
