+
+================
+Makefile Targets
+================
+
+.. _gnu-make: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Introduction
+
+.. sidebar:: build environment
+
+ Before looking deeper at the targets, first read about :ref:`makefile setup`
+ and :ref:`make pyenv`.
+
+With the aim to simplify development cycles, started with :pull:`1756` a
+``Makefile`` based boilerplate was added. If you are not familiar with
+Makefiles, we recommend to read gnu-make_ introduction.
+
+The usage is simple, just type ``make {target-name}`` to *build* a target.
+Calling the ``help`` target gives a first overview::
+
+ $ make help
+ test - run developer tests
+ docs - build documentation
+ docs-live - autobuild HTML documentation while editing
+ run - run developer instance
+ install - developer install (./local)
+ uninstall - uninstall (./local)
+ gh-pages - build docs & deploy on gh-pages branch
+ clean - drop builds and environments

+.. _makefile setup:
+
+Setup
+=====
+
+.. _git stash: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-stash
+
+The main setup is done in the :origin:`Makefile`::
+
+ export GIT_URL=https://github.com/asciimoo/searx
+ export SEARX_URL=https://searx.me
+ export DOCS_URL=https://asciimoo.github.io/searx
+
+.. sidebar:: fork & upstream
+
+ Commit changes in your (local) branch, fork or whatever, but do not push them
+ upstream / `git stash`_ is your friend.
+
+:GIT_URL: Changes this, to point to your searx fork.
+
+:SEARX_URL: Changes this, to point to your searx instance.
+
+:DOCS_URL: If you host your own (branded) documentation, change this URL.
+
+.. _make pyenv:
+
+Python environment
+==================
+
+.. sidebar:: activate environment
+
+ ``source ./local/py3/bin/activate``
+
+With Makefile we do no longer need to build up the virualenv manually (as
+described in the :ref:`devquickstart` guide). Jump into your git working tree
+and release a ``make pyenv``:
+
+.. code:: sh
+
+ $ cd ~/searx-clone
+ $ make pyenv
+ PYENV usage: source ./local/py3/bin/activate
+ ...
+
+With target ``pyenv`` a development environment (aka virtualenv) was build up in
+``./local/py3/``. To make a *developer install* of searx (:origin:`setup.py`)
+into this environment, use make target ``install``:
+
+.. code:: sh
+
+ $ make install
+ PYENV usage: source ./local/py3/bin/activate
+ PYENV using virtualenv from ./local/py3
+ PYENV install .
+
+You have never to think about intermediate targets like ``pyenv`` or
+``install``, the ``Makefile`` chains them as requisites. Just run your main
+target.
+
+.. sidebar:: drop environment
+
+ To get rid of the existing environment before re-build use :ref:`clean target
+ <make clean>` first.
+
+If you think, something goes wrong with your ./local environment or you change
+the :origin:`setup.py` file (or the requirements listed in
+:origin:`requirements-dev.txt` and :origin:`requirements.txt`), you have to call
+:ref:`make clean`.
+
+
+.. _make run:
+
+``make run``
+============
+
+To get up a running a developer instance simply call ``make run``. This enables
+*debug* option in :origin:`searx/settings.yml`, starts a ``./searx/webapp.py``
+instance, disables *debug* option again and opens the URL in your favorite WEB
+browser (:man:`xdg-open`):
+
+.. code:: sh
+
+ $ make run
+ PYENV usage: source ./local/py3/bin/activate
+ PYENV install .
+ ./local/py3/bin/python ./searx/webapp.py
+ ...
+ INFO:werkzeug: * Running on http://127.0.0.1:8888/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
+ ...
+
+.. _make clean:
+
+``make clean``
+==============
+
+Drop all intermediate files, all builds, but keep sources untouched. Includes
+target ``pyclean`` which drops ./local environment. Before calling ``make
+clean`` stop all processes using :ref:`make pyenv`.
+
+.. code:: sh
+
+ $ make clean
+ CLEAN pyclean
+ CLEAN clean
+
+.. _make docs:
+
+``make docs docs-live docs-clean``
+==================================
+
+We describe the usage of the ``doc*`` targets in the :ref:`How to contribute /
+Documentation <contrib docs>` section. If you want to edit the documentation
+read our :ref:`make docs-live` section. If you are working in your own brand,
+adjust your :ref:`Makefile setup <makefile setup>`.
+
+
+.. _make gh-pages:
+
+``make gh-pages``
+=================
+
+To deploy on github.io first adjust your :ref:`Makefile setup <makefile
+setup>`. For any further read :ref:`deploy on github.io`.
+
+.. _make test:
+
+``make test``
+=============
+
+Runs a series of tests: ``test.pep8``, ``test.unit``, ``test.robot`` and does
+additional :ref:`pylint checks <make pylint>`. You can run tests selective,
+e.g.:
+
+.. code:: sh
+
+ $ make test.pep8 test.unit
+ . ./local/py3/bin/activate; ./manage.sh pep8_check
+ [!] Running pep8 check
+ . ./local/py3/bin/activate; ./manage.sh unit_tests
+ [!] Running unit tests
+
+.. _make pylint:
+
+``make pylint``
+===============
+
+.. _Pylint: https://www.pylint.org/
+
+Before commiting its recommend to do some (more) linting. Pylint_ is known as
+one of the best source-code, bug and quality checker for the Python programming
+language. Pylint_ is not yet a quality gate within our searx project (like
+:ref:`test.pep8 <make test>` it is), but Pylint_ can help to improve code
+quality anyway. The pylint profile we use at searx project is found in
+project's root folder :origin:`.pylintrc`.
+
+Code quality is a ongoing process. Don't try to fix all messages from Pylint,
+run Pylint and check if your changed lines are bringing up new messages. If so,
+fix it. By this, code quality gets incremental better and if there comes the
+day, the linting is balanced out, we might decide to add Pylint as a quality
+gate.
+
+
+``make pybuild``
+================
+
+.. _PyPi: https://pypi.org/
+.. _twine: https://twine.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
+
+Build Python packages in ``./dist/py``.
+
+.. code:: sh
+
+ $ make pybuild
+ ...
+ BUILD pybuild
+ running sdist
+ running egg_info
+ ...
+ $ ls ./dist/py/
+ searx-0.15.0-py3-none-any.whl searx-0.15.0.tar.gz
+
+To upload packages to PyPi_, there is also a ``upload-pypi`` target. It needs
+twine_ to be installed. Since you are not the owner of :pypi:`searx` you will
+never need the latter.
