# Setting up feature documentation > Setup feature documentation for reading, editing, or publishing This documents setting up the feature documentation system, either for reading or editing the source files, or for generating a website e.g. for public display. ## Prerequisites To edit documentation files, you only need some plain-text editor (e.g. `nano`, `vim`, `emacs`, or `mcedit`), and `git` to syncronize your changes with others: sudo apt install git To generate a website from the collection of source files, you additionally need `Make` and `MKDocs` (but you don't need `LESS` which gets included by default, so can suppress installing that): sudo apt install make mkdocs less- (if you use LESS elsewhere on your system, then skip the `less-` part of above command). ## Fetch features The documentation is grouped by "feature", each tracked in a separate git. All features are pulled together in the git "features" using this command: make init You can repeat the command later, e.g. after updating the "features" git where additional features added. Simple re-init may fail, however (e.g. after a git update _removing_ some features). More reliable is to do a [cleanup|#Cleanup] and then a fresh init. ## Build website This command generates a website from the feature texts: make ## Cleanup All fetched and generated files can be removed with this command: make distclean Alternatively (e.g. when needing to clean while offline), this command removed only generated files: make clean
