Sphinx as a Static Site Generator

by Amit


In this article, we will take a look at Sphinx (specifically Sphinx 1.1.3) as a static
site generator tool. Let’s get started.

Installing Sphinx

Installing sphinx is as easy as pip install sphinx (on Linux and
Windows). pip will download a bunch of other dependencies (docutils,
Jinja2, pygments
as well). Once installed, check whether sphinx is
available to you by typing $ sphinx-quickstart at the command
line. This should give you a welcome message. We proceed from there in
the next section. (On Windows, if you have added
C:\Python27\Scripts to the Windows Path variable, the sphinx
commands should be already available to be executed since the
sphinx binaries are also installed in this location).
