How to Build Documentation Locally

Building the documentation site locally on your computer can be useful in a variety of situations, such as when you wish to preview changes you've made.

Riptide uses DocFX to build its documentation. To install DocFX, open a terminal and run the following command:

dotnet tool install -g docfx --version 2.70.1

Once DocFX is installed:

1. Navigate to the Docs folder in your cloned Riptide repository.
2. Run docfx docfx.json --serve.
3. Visit http://localhost:8080/ in your web browser.
