Hi Kenneth, I basically copied your email into the Installation.rst file, see my branch at https://github.com/andreas-h/easybuild/tree/updatedoc.
I wanted to build the documentation before submitting the PR, just to make sure everything is fine with my additions (my rst is a bit rusty ...), but couldn't find the Sphinxdoc Makefile in the repo. Is there an easy way to build the documentation locally on my machine? Otherwise, I can submit the PR as-is ... Cheers, Andreas.
