Getting Started with the DITA Open Toolkit
The Getting Started Guide is designed to provide a guided exploration of the DITA Open Toolkit. It is geared for an audience that has little or no knowledge of build scripts or DITA-OT parameters. It walks the novice user through installing the full-easy-install version of the toolkit and running a prompted build.
- Installing the full-easy-install package For the simplest installation experience, install the full-easy-install package. This package can be installed on Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows. It contains everything that you need to run the DITA-OT except for Java.
- Running the demo build
After you install the full-easy-install package, run the demo build to see the type of output that is produced by the DITA Open Toolkit. - Building your own content using the demo build
You can use the demo build to generate output for your own DITA content.
