4. Create HTML documentation:

   Note that pandoc has to be installed. On Debian/Ubuntu you can just run

   $  sudo apt-get install pandoc

   To create the HTML documentation run these commands:

   $ cd docs $ make html

5. Create a PDF:

   For the creation of a PDF file you need additional packages.

   For Debian/Ubuntu you get them with the following command:

   $ sudo apt install texlive-latex-recommended texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended latexmk

   or for macOS with:

   $ brew cask install mactex
   …
   🍺  mactex was successfully installed!
   $ curl --remote-name https://www.tug.org/fonts/getnonfreefonts/install-getnonfreefonts
   $ sudo texlua install-getnonfreefonts
   …
   mktexlsr: Updating /usr/local/texlive/2020/texmf-dist/ls-R...
   mktexlsr: Done.

   Then you can generate a PDF with:

   $ make latexpdf
   …
   The LaTeX files are in _build/latex.
   Run 'make' in that directory to run these through (pdf)latex
   …

   You can find the PDF at docs/_build/latex/jupytertutorial.pdf.
