When the script detects the need for an upgrade, it will print either a warning or a note. Let's change a little bit the order where messages will be displayed, in order to make easier for the user to identify the more important messages. It should now be like this: Detected OS: Fedora release 31 (Thirty One). Sphinx version: 1.7.9 Note: It is recommended at least Sphinx version 2.4.4 if you need PDF support. To upgrade Sphinx, use: /usr/bin/python3 -m venv sphinx_2.4.4 . sphinx_2.4.4/bin/activate pip install -r ./Documentation/sphinx/requirements.txt If you want to exit the virtualenv, you can use: deactivate All optional dependencies are met. Needed package dependencies are met.
