Installation
============
How to install and use the theme
--------------------------------
Install the ``sphinx_rtd_theme`` package (or add it to your ``requirements.txt`` file):
.. code:: console
$ pip install sphinx_rtd_theme
In your Sphinx project's ``conf.py`` file, add ``sphinx_rtd_theme`` to the list of enabled extensions and as the active theme:
.. code:: python
extensions = [
...
'sphinx_rtd_theme',
]
html_theme = "sphinx_rtd_theme"
.. seealso::
:ref:`supported-browsers`
Officially supported and tested browser/operating system combinations
:ref:`supported-dependencies`
Officially Supported versions of Python, Sphinx, and other dependencies.
.. note::
Adding this theme as an extension activates the ``sphinxcontrib-jquery`` extension,
which is required for search, smooth scrolling, and the flyout menu.
If any of these features don't work, make sure you have the theme declared in your ``extensions``.

How to upgrade
--------------
Adding ``sphinx-rtd-theme`` to your project's dependencies will make pip install the latest compatible version of the theme.
If you want to test a **pre-release**, you need to be explicit about the version you specify.
Otherwise, pip will ignore pre-releases. Add for instance ``sphinx-rtd-theme==1.1.0b3`` to test a pre-release.
.. tip::
We recommend that you pin the version of Sphinx that your project is built with.
We won't release sphinx-rtd-theme without marking its compatibility with Sphinx. So if you do not pin ``sphinx-rtd-theme`` itself, you will always get the *latest compatible* release.
More information is available in Read the Docs' documentation on :doc:`rtd:guides/reproducible-builds`.
