Hi Rocky, You have two options here. First option is to build the documentation only with one language. For example, to build only the english language use: make run DOC_LANG="en" In the second option you can go to the folder of the modified document and run: asciidoctor _index.adoc Let me know if this helps you. PS: In my laptop, building all the documents in English took 1'5 minutes. I'm using a Thinkpad X200.
