Hello, first I want to help with documentation. I was going through sympy documentation style guide.  There there is a big process for setting up for windows but to build HTML in doc we have a make file and we need a make command. So  I am using git bash and I added this make utility to gut bash so that I can use it directly. I think it is installed properly as you can see in img below

Now the problem comes when I make HTML check it out

So is there any way I can work this out??? Am I missing any utility?

Thank you in advance!!

P.S. : I am using windows 10, git bash

Hey, I have figured it out just follow the guide properly. But still for windows when we install ubuntu shell the guide says that we can type ubuntu command to shift to ubuntu shell but that doesn't work I don't know why !!! Secondly, I can open shell directly so I did that and followed the ubuntu guide. So first of all python2 is not installed in Ubuntu 20.04 so while using "make html" that would say that python command does not exist. So then you have to install python2 first. After that most of the commands to get python library dependencies don't work I coz it is not able to find files or something. So what I did is installed pip3 after that all the python libraries can be installed directly. After that, the make html command ran properly and documentation was built. So this was my story of setting things up hope it helps someone stuck someday!

Getting the documentation to build on Windows is likely to be a difficult task. If you have figured out how to make it work, it would be helpful to add improvements to the parts of the documentation that document how to build the documentation (i.e., https://docs.sympy.org/latest/documentation-style-guide.html#installation).

Unfortunately, the documentation building process relies on some packages that are going to be very difficult if not impossible to install directly on Windows, so the only way it will work is through some sort of Linux emulation, whether that be git bash, WSL, or a Linux VM.
