<div>Here's a draft of the OS X install docs. I'm also new to SVN and RST/Sphinx,along with some of the people who have been posting lately... so this does seem much more complicated than a wiki to me too. Nonetheless, I was able to work out how to successfully do the install on OS X, translating from the Windows link that Greg posted a day or two ago.</div><div><br></div><div>I guess someone might have to sub-edit this to get it properly formatted in RST and uploaded online to the docs page, if you want to use it, as I don't know how to do that myself. I tried to format it in RST, using the View page source link from the Windows page as a template but am not sure how it turned out. Probably needs some fine tuning, but should be quick for someone accustomed to RST workflow. The main difficulty I’m having is not knowing how to preview the RST as HTML, so I can see how the built HTML would turn out.</div><div><br></div><div>I did notice that when trying to download the Blender documentation repo that the HTTPS certificate had a validation error and that stopped the download with an alert. I had to press t to temporarily authorize it to continue.</div><div><br></div><div>Should the URL be switched to http:// versus https:// in the docs if that would avoid the error (that might scare new people)?</div><div><br></div><div>I also wondered whether or not the pip command will work on a stock OS X machine without Command Line Tools installed? I can't answer that because I have already installed them on mine. </div><div><br></div><div>Also, I had 355 warnings (some of them marked SEVERE) while building the HTML... not sure if that is normal or not either, maybe adding a similar note as the earlier section about warnings being OK (even SEVERE ones) would help. The built HTML docs did seem to work in my browser despite the warnings, but I only looked at the contents.html page. </div><div><br></div><div>Here's what I wrote, hope it is useful (attached as RST/txt).</div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu Jan 15 2015 at 8:07:03 AM marco ardito <<a href="mailto:ardito@apiform.to.it">ardito@apiform.to.it</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><u></u>

this page also needs to link the new one, perhaps.<br>
<a href="http://www.blender.org/support/" target="_blank">http://www.blender.org/support/</a> => online manual<br>
and maybe <a href="http://www.blender.org/get-involved/" target="_blank">http://www.blender.org/get-involved/</a> => documentation<br>
