i am trying to install the blender docs system on win 10 so that i can help edit the docs. i have followed or tried to follow the instructions on these pages:
https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/about/contribute/install/windows.html https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/about/contribute/build/windows.html
things seemed to go all right with the install, though i got this text in red:
Exception:

also i got this in light green text:
You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 9.0.3 is available. You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.
i tried to upgrade pip, but the upgrade failed. i have no idea whether any of the above matters - are they warnings or errors? well ok, they are exceptions, but i don't know what exception means in terms of severity.
the real problem, however, is when i try the 'make' command on the build page. i get this:
c:\blender_docs>make No command given, defaulting to html. 'sphinx-build' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
i have tried explicitly installing babel in case it didn't get installed during the requirements.txt phase, but i still get the same error when i try the 'make' command. i completely stuck i think until and unless i can get past this blockage.
thanks,
