问题
I have a brand new CentOS 6 box and wanted to install sphinx, in order to compile documents as generated by readthedocs.org i.e. rst files.
In a previous ubuntu box I was running
make html
and that would invoke the
sphinx-build
command and compile the documentation.
I downloaded the latest version of sphinx and installed it as such:
sudo wget http://sphinxsearch.com/files/sphinx-2.1.9-1.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
sudo localinstall sphinx-2.1.9-1.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
Everything seems to be fine but sphinx-build is nowhere to be found.
Any pointers are more than appreciated.
回答1:
You are mixing up two different tools named Sphinx: the full text search server (http://sphinxsearch.com/) and the documentaton generator (http://sphinx-doc.org/). You need the latter tool in order to compile documents usingsphinx-build.
回答2:
You can also install rpm package of sphinx (Python documentation generator) with yum at CentOS 6 using:
yum install python-sphinx.noarch
at Fedora 20 using:
yum install python-sphinx-doc.noarch

A short addup, according to offical document, one just need to run
pip install Sphinx to install the python documentation generator, sphinx. Or it can be downloaded from distribution package.
