# Import Docs Into ReadTheDocs

## Prepare your project for ReadTheDocs

Create `.readthedocs.yaml` in the application root:

```yaml
# .readthedocs.yaml
# Read the Docs configuration file
# See https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/config-file/v2.html for details

# Required
version: 2

# Set the OS, Python version and other tools you might need
build:
  os: ubuntu-22.04
  tools:
    python: "3.12"
    # You can also specify other tool versions:
    # nodejs: "19"
    # rust: "1.64"
    # golang: "1.19"

# Build documentation in the "docs/" directory with Sphinx
sphinx:
  configuration: docs/conf.py

# Optionally build your docs in additional formats such as PDF and ePub
formats:
   - pdf
   - epub

# Optional but recommended, declare the Python requirements required
# to build your documentation
# See https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guides/reproducible-builds.html
python:
   install:
   - requirements: docs/requirements.txt   
```

Move the content of the `requirements.txt` file, related to documentation into `docs/requirements.txt`:

```
recommonmark
sphinx
sphinx-autobuild
```

Update your `requirements.txt` so that it includes the `docs/requirements.txt`:

```
-r docs/requirements.txt
```
