+Building JVPP documentation
+===========================
+
+JVPP documentation uses restructured text format as source for generating documentation using sphinx generator.
+

+
+You need to have sphinx installed in order to build the documentation for JVPP. To do so you can use pip to install it.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+  pip install sphinx
+
+You can use virtual environment for python or you can install it directly to the system.
+
+
+Building the documentation
+--------------------------
+
+In order to build the documentation you can use "docs" target which is automatically generated for make if sphinx
+generator is available.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+  make docs
+
+After successful build the generated documentation is available in build-root/html directory.
+
+Cleanup (Optional)
+------------------

+If you need to clean the build and remove all data that was generated during build (including documentation) you can
+use the clean.sh script.
