# Install pixi
curl -fsSL https://pixi.sh/install.sh | bash

# Add to PATH
source ~/.bashrc

Build Fails with Import Error

Symptom: Python import errors

Fix:

# Find process using port 3000
lsof -i :3000

# Kill it
kill <PID>

# Or use different port (edit pixi.toml)

just docs-build 2>&1 | grep -i "warning"

# Fix the referenced files

CI/CD Integration

Documentation is automatically built and deployed:
