I ran on windows command prompt and PowerShell.
C:\blender-docs>make
To view, run:

start build/html/index.html

C:\blender-docs>start build/html/index.html
The system cannot find the file build/html/index.html.

I also realized the directory build does not exist.

Can you try using the command prompt instead of Powershell?

I tested on windows just to make sure everything works and I don't have any issues, so I am guessing something is just installed wrong.

sphinx-build --version outputs

'sphinx-build' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Did you follow the steps on https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/about/contribute/install/windows.html#setting-up-the-build-environment ? You either didn't or something was installed wrong.

Try:

pip install sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme
pip list

Please also make sure that python is in your PATH.

I did that, rebuilt the page and still am getting the same error. sphinx_rtd_theme is already installed and python is in the path.

There must be a configuration error on your end because sphinx-build --version should give a meaningful output.

Since is not an issue on our side anywhere I am going to close the report.
I suggest you find other more related user forums if you are having trouble installing a particular python package.
