Hello I still have a problem with this. I am using sphinx1.8.5 and changed the default python version on my computer to be 3.6 but I get the following error on $ make html ; Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/valentina-t/.local/bin/sphinx-build", line 7, in <module> from sphinx.cmd.build import main File "/home/valentina-t/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sphinx/cmd/build.py", line 39 file=stderr) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Makefile:123: recipe for target 'html' failed make: *** [html] Error 1
I googled the error but didn't find anything really useful. I feel it has something to do with python2.7 as part of the path. Suppose I am right, I need help changing it to python3.6 please. Regards Mbeng Tanyi On Sun, Mar 31, 2019 at 9:20 PM Matti Picus <matti.picus@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello
I also got an error the first time I tried $ make file as follows:
mkdir -p build/html build/doctrees LANG=C sphinx-build -b html -WT --keep-going -d build/doctrees source build/html /bin/sh: 1: sphinx-build: not found Makefile:123: recipe for target 'html' failed make: *** [html] Error 127
After upgrading to sphinx2 as was suggested here, I still get errors after $ make html :
mkdir -p build/html build/doctrees LANG=C sphinx-build -b html -WT --keep-going -d build/doctrees source build/html Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/valentina-t/.local/bin/sphinx-build", line 7, in <module> from sphinx.cmd.build import main File

You need to use sphinx version 1.8.5, and python3.6.
