Dependencies
============

Linux Ubuntu (14.04 and 16.04) 
-----------------------------
- Install the dependencies
  - run `linux-install-dependencies.pl` script; you will require sudo rights
  - run `unix-get-dependencies.sh` script with an existing `DEPENDENCY_CACHE` environment variable or with --cache parameter (OPTIONAL - for tests), 
  or with `PROXYPASS`


Windows 7 and later
-------------------
- Install the dependencies:
  - copy `windows-install-dependencies.cmd` and rename copy to `windows-install-dependencies-custom.cmd`
  - edit line `set PROXYPASS=XXX:XXX` with appropriate username and password
  - run it whenever you want to update dependencies.


Install
=======

Linux Ubuntu (14.04)
--------------------
- Build the sofware
  - run `unix-build` script, and append `--build-unit` and/or `--build-validation` if you want to build tests
- Run unit tests
  - run `ctest-launcher.sh` from the build directory


Windows 7 and later
-------------------
- Build the sofware
  - run `windows-build.cmd` script, and append `--build-unit` and/or `--build-validation` if you want to build tests
- Run unit tests
  - run `ctest-launcher.cmd` from the build directory


Building Documentation
======================

Documentation Dependencies
--------------------------

The documentation is build by the sphinx tool and has following dependencies:

* Python
* sphinx
* sphinx_rtd_theme

The best way to have these dependencies ready is to use a virtualenv in order to make an environment containing these.

Assuming you have virtualenv installed the commands would be:

First time:

    mkdir -p ~/virtualenvs
    virutalenv ~/virtualenvs/openvibe-doc
    source ~/virtualenvs/openvibe-doc/bin/activate
    pip install sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme

or on windows

    md %USERPROFILE%\virtualenvs
    virtualenv %USERPROFILE%\virtualenvs\openvibe-doc
    %USERPROFILE%\virtualenvs\openvibe-doc\Scripts\activate.bat
    pip install sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme

once the environment is created you only need to execute the third line to activate it.

Documentation Building
----------------------

The documentation main files reside in documentation/sphinx folder and is constructed in the following fashion:

1. During the CMake step documentation files are pooled in the dist/doc-tmp/sphinx folder
   * The files come from the documentation/sphinx folder and from the plugins `boxes` folders
2. The documentation will generate a build-documentation script inside the doc-tmp folder which
   has to be launched manually.
3. The documentation will be generated in the `doc-tmp/sphinx/build` folder and moved to
   `doc/OpenViBE Manual`

Extending Documentation
-----------------------

If you wish to build a documentation that extends what is already in the SDK you can do so by adding files
into the doc-tmp folder and overwriting indexes.

A few remarks:

The main index file is in `doc-tmp/sphinx/source/index.rst` and should almost always be overwritten if you
need to add something to the documentation.

Box list is in `doc-tmp/sphinx/source/boxes/index-boxes.rst`. The plugin-inspector can generate this file
for you using the `openvibe-plugin-inspector --box-doc-directory <WHERE>` template. It will also generate
templates for all boxes that can be loaded by the kernel.
