+# OSM User Guide
+
+## Scope of the document
+
+This document collects Open Source MANO User Guide.
+
+## Guidelines for contributors
+
+* OSM [Workflow for documentation production](https://osm.etsi.org/gitlab/osm-doc/documentation-how-to/blob/master/Workflow%20for%20documentation%20production%20in%20OSM.md#guide-for-contributors) must be used.
+* Every section of this document, under a "H1" tag (single #), must be contained in a single file and formatted according to the following [sample document](#)
+
+## Exporting the document to HTML
+
+This markdown format can be easily exported by installing and using [Sphinx](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/) in your local machine.
+
+Install the required packages:
+
+```bash
+sudo -H python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+Then run:
+
+```bash
+make html
+```
+
+The generated HTML output is stored in `_build/html`. You can go to that folder and publish the content locally with a Simple HTTP Server in Python.
+
+```bash
+python3 -m http.server <PORT>
+```
+
+Then you can check the generated HTML output with a local web browser pointing to <http://localhost:PORT>
