Since v0.3.2-beta, there is a built program released
which can be simply just downloaded and executed with ./simtex [OPTIONS],
as all of the dependency as well as run time is already included.
After downloading, the program can be placed in your $PATH that it can be
easily called. Usually the $PATH is $HOME./local/bin.
Another method to install the program is using the .whl in releases section using your python
package manager or using pip install simtex, since the project has been on
PyPI since v0.2.0-alpha.
One way to install the project from source is by building it using the build system. Install the dependencies with:
pip install -r requirements.txt
And using your distro's respective package manager, install texlive or any other LaTeX distributions. In Fedora, CentOS, and RHEL:
sudo dnf/rpm-ostree/yum install texlive-scheme-full
Then inside the project dir, to build the .whl file do:
python -m build
or to package the project:
python setup.py build
And finally if the former was used, the resulting .whl file under
dists/ dir can be installed via pip.
