## Build Documentation
## Schema generation
Before serving the documentation, you will need to build the API schema files from the source code, so they can be included in the documentation:
```
invoke build-docs
```
Building the documentation requires extracting the API schema from the source code.
!!! tip
This command is only required when building the documentation for the first time, or when changes have been made to the API schema.
## Serve Local files
```
$ invoke build-docs
```

If that worked, you can now generate the HTML format documentation pages:
## Viewing the documentation
Generate the HTML files from the markdown source files, and start the MkDocs webpage server:
```
$ mkdocs build -f docs/mkdocs.yml
```
## Viewing the generated output
To view the documentation locally, run the following command to start the MkDocs webpage server:
```
$ mkdocs serve -f docs/mkdocs.yml -a localhost:8080
```
Alternatively, you can use the `invoke` command:
```
invoke dev.docs-server
```
To see all the available options:
```
invoke dev.docs-server --help
$ mkdocs serve -f docs/mkdocs.yml
```
You can then point your web browser at http://localhost:8080/
Alternatively, you can use the `invoke` command:
```
$ invoke dev.docs-server

If you need to, use the `-a` option after `mkdocs` or `invoke` to set the address and port. Run `invoke dev.docs-server --help` for details.
## Editing the Documentation Files
