DataFusion Documentation

This folder contains the source content of the User Guide and Contributor Guide. These are both published to https://datafusion.apache.org/ as part of the release process.

Dependencies

It's recommended to install build dependencies and build the documentation inside a Python virtualenv.

python3 -m venv venv
pip install -r requirements.txt

If using uv the script can be run like so without needing to create a virtual environment:

uv run --with-requirements requirements.txt bash build.sh

Build & Preview

Run the provided script to build the HTML pages.

# If using venv, ensure you have activated it
./build.sh

The HTML will be generated into a build directory. Open build/html/index.html in your preferred browser, e.g.

Preview the site on Linux by running this command.

# On macOS
open build/html/index.html
# On Linux with Firefox
firefox build/html/index.html

Making Changes

To make changes to the docs, simply make a Pull Request with your proposed changes as normal. When the PR is merged the docs will be automatically updated.
