Build the website

To build the website, you have to install the mkdocs tool and plugins for internationalization first.

MkDocs requires a recent version of Python and the Python package manager, pip, to be installed on your system.

You can check if you already have these installed from the command line:

$ python3 --version
Python 3.8.2
$ pip --version
pip 20.0.2 from /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)

Create a virtual environment dedicated to mkdocs

$ python3 -m venv mkdocs
$ source mkdocs/bin/activate

Then, install the mkdocs tool and required plugins

$ python3 -m pip install 'mkdocs[i18n]'
$ python3 -m pip install mkdocs-i18n

Finally, the website is created with:

$ mkdocs build 

If you want to preview the website locally while you are editing the markdown source files
