Dependencies

In addition to the standard Python libraries, the following modules are needed:

• Jinja2
• Pygments
• toposort
• Markdown
• Beautiful Soup
• Markdown-Include
• MD-Environ
• graphviz (requires the Graphviz binary to be installed as well)

All of these (except the Graphviz binary) can be installed via pip. If you install FORD itself via pip or spack, the dependencies will be handled automatically. Optionally, LXML may be installed to improve the speed of search database generation.
