Ubuntu 24.10 Oracular Oriole (amd64)

Install Doxide:

echo 'deb http://download.indii.org/deb oracular main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/indii.org.list

sudo apt update
sudo apt install doxide

sudo zypper addrepo https://download.indii.org/rpm/opensuse/tumbleweed/indii.org.repo

sudo zypper install doxide

Arch

Available from the Arch User Repository (AUR).

Then install MkDocs and Material for MkDocs:

pip install mkdocs mkdocs-material
See below for running MkDocs in a Python virtual environment instead.

Material for MkDocs is included as a package in some Linux distributions, but typically an older version, and mileage may vary when using it with Doxide. As Material for MkDocs is updated frequently, it is recommended to install it with pip instead, to get the latest version.

Mac

Install Homebrew if not already, then:

brew tap lawmurray/all
brew install doxide
Also install MkDocs and Material for MkDocs:
pip install mkdocs mkdocs-material
See below for running MkDocs in a Python virtual environment instead.

Windows

First install Doxide via your preferred means:

Chocolatey

Install Chocolatey if not already, then:

choco install doxide

Installer

Download Doxide installer

Checksum for the download above.

Standalone program

Download the program and put it somewhere on your PATH environment variable, so that you can access it from a terminal.

Download Doxide standalone program

Checksum for the download above.

Windows Subsystem for Linux

You can use Windows Subsystem for Linux and follow the instructions for your chosen Linux distribution above.

Then install MkDocs and Material for MkDocs. For this you will need a working Python installation; if you are using Chocolatey, a simple way is choco install python. Then install:

pip install mkdocs mkdocs-material
See below for running MkDocs in a Python virtual environment instead.

Install from source

If a Doxide package is not available for your operating system or you have special requirements, you can install from source. See the README.md file for instructions.

Using a Python virtual environment

To manage MkDocs and other Python dependencies per-project rather than system wide, you may like to use a Python virtual environment. Create it in your project directory:

python3 -m venv venv
Then enter it:
source venv/bin/activate
You can then run pip install mkdocs mkdocs-material to install MkDocs (and other dependencies) into this virtual environment, and run mkdocs from within that virtual environment to publish your Doxide documentation. When finished, exit the environment with:
deactivate
