42+ Installing from PyPI
43+ --------------------
44+ On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
45+ PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-pcf8523/> `_. To install for current user:
46+
47+ .. code-block :: shell
48+
49+ pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-pcf8523
50+
51+ To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
52+
53+ .. code-block :: shell
54+
55+ sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-pcf8523
56+
57+ To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
58+

151+ Building locally
152+ ================
153+
154+ Zip release files
155+ -----------------
156+
157+ To build this library locally you'll need to install the
158+ `circuitpython-build-tools <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython-build-tools >`_ package.
159+
160+ .. code-block :: shell
161+
162+ python3 -m venv .env
163+ source .env/bin/activate
164+ pip install circuitpython-build-tools
165+
166+ Once installed, make sure you are in the virtual environment:
167+
168+ .. code-block :: shell
169+
170+ source .env/bin/activate
171+
172+ Then run the build:
173+
174+ .. code-block :: shell
175+
176+ circuitpython-build-bundles --filename_prefix adafruit-circuitpython-pcf8523 --library_location .
177+
178+ Sphinx documentation
179+ -----------------------
180+
181+ Sphinx is used to build the documentation based on rST files and comments in the code. First,
182+ install dependencies (feel free to reuse the virtual environment from above):
183+
184+ .. code-block :: shell
185+
186+ python3 -m venv .env
187+ source .env/bin/activate
188+ pip install Sphinx sphinx-rtd-theme
189+
190+ Now, once you have the virtual environment activated:
191+
192+ .. code-block :: shell
193+
194+ cd docs
195+ sphinx-build -E -W -b html . _build/html
196+
197+ This will output the documentation to ``docs/_build/html ``. Open the index.html in your browser to
198+ view them. It will also (due to -W) error out on any warning like Travis will. This is a good way to
199+ locally verify it will pass.
