Offline Docs Building

[PramUkesh]

Hi,
Provide a method to build offline docs from this repo on local PC
as some people don't have internet connectivity to PC all the time
they unable to view the docs for reference
So provide instructions to build the docs the can be open from browser with out connectivity

Good idea. Building the docs is easy:

npm install
npm run book:install
npm run book:build

Then use a web server to open _book. I use http-server:

http-server _book

C:\Users\PramUkesh Venky\Documents\plugin-docs-master>npm run book:build

Executing
gitbook build
results in success
Why above error occurs ?
Do you have any idea

@PramUkesh Do you have npm installed on your machine? What does npm --version say?
