Description

Expected behavior: Setup instructions on how to build the documentation locally.

Actual behavior: User has to figure out how to build the documentation site locally (it's not hard, but would be easier with instructions).

Suggested change: explain how the user can build a virtual environment with the required dependencies and add contribution instructions on how to build the documentation site locally.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing documentation build setup in the repository, likely in the docs/ directory. Look for files like Makefile, conf.py, or requirements.txt to understand the build process. Write a step by step guide covering virtual environment creation, dependency installation, and building the site. Consider adding the instructions to docs/README.md or a CONTRIBUTING.md file. Ensure the guide is tested and includes any platform specific tips if necessary.
