Help with Recipes

If you have a question about how to do something with LSST data, and you can't find a recipe for it, please ask your how-to question at the LSST questions board (coming soon!).

If you have a comment or question about an existing recipe, you can submit it as an issue . Thanks!

Building docs

Install sphinx:

pip install sphinx

Make the html pages, in situ:

cd doc
make html

dev team: you should make the html in the gh-pages branch, so you can push it to the project website:

git fetch origin
git checkout gh-pages
git merge master

cd doc
make html
