Documentation Status DOI

This repository serves as the technical documentation for interfacing with the MAAP services.

Contributing to MAAP Documentation

MAAP documentation is hosted on maap-project.readthedocs.io, is built using Sphinx and written in reStructuredText. If you want to contribute to the documentation, you can do so by forking the repository, creating a branch for your changes and editing the documentation files in the docs directory of the repo.

This should be built using Python >=3.11.

OS-version of Pandoc is also required.

You need to install Sphinx and supporting packages locally so you can ensure that your edits display correctly before making a pull request to the repository. These steps must be performed locally since MAAP's ADE does not support running a server and likely will not in the future.

To install supporting packages, run the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

After installing the necessary packages you build the docs using the following command from the docs directory:

cd docs
make html

Once the docs have been built successfully, there should be a build/ directory with the HTML pages. To verify the pages look as expected run a local python server.

cd build/html
python3 -m http.server
# If you are not prompted open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8000/ (default)

Running Notebooks Locally

To run the documentation notebook code, you must make several configurations.

Install JupyterHub.

Install the maap-py library.

  1. Switch to your virtual environment that you wish to install in.
  2. pip install matplotlib==3.3.1
  3. Clone maap-py with git clone git@github.com:MAAP-Project/maap-py.git
  4. cd maap-py then python setup.py install
