# InvenTree Documentation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
[](https://inventree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This repository hosts the [official documentation](https://inventree.readthedocs.io/) for [InvenTree](https://github.com/inventree/inventree), an open source inventory management system.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To serve this documentation locally (e.g. for development), you will need to have Python 3 installed on your system.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Setup
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Run the following commands from the top-level project directory:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
$ git clone https://github.com/inventree/inventree
 | 
						|
$ pip install --require-hashes -r docs/requirements.txt
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Serve Locally
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To serve the pages locally, run the following command (from the top-level project directory):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
$ mkdocs serve -f docs/mkdocs.yml -a localhost:8080
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Edit Documentation Files
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Once the server is running, it will monitor the documentation files for any changes, and update the served pages.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Admonitions
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
"Admonition" blocks can be added as follow:
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
!!! info "This is the admonition block title"
 | 
						|
    This is the admonition block content
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Refer to the [reference documentation](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/reference/admonitions/) to customize the admonition block to the use-case (eg. warning, missing, info, etc.).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Internal Links
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Links to internal documentation pages **must** use relative pathing, otherwise the link will be broken by the readthedocs URL formatting.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Also, linking to an internal page must use the `.md` suffix!
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For example, to link to the page `/part/views` from `/stock/stocktake`, the link must be formed as follows:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
Click [here](../part/views.md)
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*Formatting the link as follows:*
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
Click [here](/part/views)
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*will result in a broken link.*
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Images
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Images are served from the `./docs/assets/images` folder and can be added as follow:
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
{% with id="image_id", url="folder/image_name.png", description="Text shown if image is not loaded properly" %}
 | 
						|
{% include 'img.html' %}
 | 
						|
{% endwith %}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Replace:
 | 
						|
* `image_id` with a short unique identifier for the image (most commonly, `image_id` is same as `image_name`)
 | 
						|
* `folder` with the folder in `docs/assets/images` in which the image is stored
 | 
						|
* `image_name` with the name of the image
 | 
						|
* `.png` with the image extension (PNG or JPEG are preferred formats)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Global variables
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Refer to the [reference documentation](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/reference/variables/#using-custom-variables) to find out how to add global variables to the documentation site.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Global variables should be added in the `# Global Variables` section of the `mkdocs.yml` configuration file.
 |
