Is there a way for me to access PyTorch documentation offline? I checked the github repo and there seems to be a doc folder but I am not clear on how to generate the documentation so that I can use it offline. I am looking for documentation for stable 0.4.0. ---

Hi, The doc needs to be generated from the source code. To get it you will need to go into the `docs` folder and then run `make` (or the bat file if you’re on windows). You might need to install the dependencies in the requirements.txt file before. Once `make` run, you will have a local html file that you can browse offfline containing all the doc. ---

Thanks. I was able to generate the documentation in html format using the steps you mentioned. Any idea how I can generate the docs specific to 0.4.0 stable? The generated docs show unstable 0.3.0.post4. I tried checking out to tag v0.4.0 in repo, but it still generates the unstable docs. ---

The version number might not be correct. Because the build system for the releases is reponsible for setting the versions to something else than “unstable”. It will generate the doc for the current version of the repo. So if you’re at tag 0.4.0, it will generate the doc for this version. ---

Thanks for clarifying. ---

It would be quite handy to have conda packages with the documentation though. ---

Hi, but how can I run the Makefile in some specific folder? I want to install the docs only. ---

You’re note suppose to execute a `Makefile` with bash. Just run `make` in the folder where the `Makefile` is. ---

Hi, We build the doc on linux machines all the time I’m afraid. It might be possible that it is not working on Windows 😕 Do you have a linux machine you can use to get the doc by any chance? Another convoluted way to do this is to download it directly from our build. On every PR (pick one randomly on pytorch github), there is a `pytorch_python_doc_build` that actually builds the doc. You can check there the artifact page that contains the full doc: [https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/pytorch/pytorch/326575/workflows/30cd30c4-fea5-4165-ab08-a54b85d0e67e/jobs/13676034/artifacts](https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/pytorch/pytorch/326575/workflows/30cd30c4-fea5-4165-ab08-a54b85d0e67e/jobs/13676034/artifacts) You can download all of these as a single file by using circle CI API directly: [Storing Build Artifacts - CircleCI](https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/artifacts/#downloading-all-artifacts-for-a-build-on-circleci)
