-### Install Sphinx
+### option 1: Use the docker image
+
+The easiest way to build the documentation is using a docker image.
+To build the image run the following in the base directory:
+
+ make -C util/docker/ doc.coreboot.org
+
+Before building the documentation make sure the output directory is given
+the correct permissions before running docker.
+
+ mkdir -p Documentation/_build
+
+To build the documentation:
+
+ make -C util/docker docker-build-docs
+
+To have the documentation build and served over a web server live run:
+
+ make -C util/docker docker-livehtml-docs
+
+On the host machine, open a browser to the address <http://0.0.0.0:8000>.
+
+### option 2: Install Sphinx
Please follow this official [guide] to install sphinx.
