+Building Documentation
+======================
+
+To build FRR documentation, first install the dependencies.
+Notice that if you plan to only build html documenation, you only
+need the package ``python3-sphinx``.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   sudo apt-get install -y python3-sphinx \
+      texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-extra latexmk
+
+To prepate for building both user and developer documentation, do:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   cd doc
+   make
+
+User documentation
+------------------
+
+To build html user documentation:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   cd user
+   make html
+
+This will generate html documentation files under ``_build/html/``.
+With the main page named ``index.html``.
+
+PFD can then be built by:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   cd user
+   make pdf
+
+The generated PDF file will be saved at ``_build/latex/FRR.pdf``
+
+Developer documentation
+-----------------------
+
+To build the developer documentation:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   cd developer
+   make html
+
+This will generate html documentation files under ``_build/html/``.
+With the main page named ``index.html``.
+
+PFD can then be built by:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   cd developer
+   make pdf
+
+The generated PDF file will be saved at ``_build/latex/FRR.pdf``
