firw-thesis-latex

This repo is intended to make it easy to share the same latex setup on multiple machines. The current setup takes care of the kulemt class provided by the faculty. It uses docker to accomplish this.

Usage

Prerequisites

You have installed:

• Docker sudo apt-get install docker docker.io

Install

Clone the project: git clone [email protected]:warreee/firw-thesis-latex.git

Build docker: docker build -t compile .

Add yourself to the dockergroup: sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Make sure that the following files are executable:

• compile.sh
• latexmk.sh
• pdflatex.sh

Optional: add a alias for the compile command by adding the following line to .bashrc

alias compile='/path/to/file/compile.sh'

Compilation

You can now compile any correct Latex file with:

/path/to/file/compile.sh file.tex

Or if you added the alias:

compile file.tex

Test compilation

You can test the compilation of the thesis template in the thesis folder:

compile thesis.tex

IDE

Atom

You can use the introduced commands with Atom. Here I describe a possible setup, but there are of course other possible ways.

1. Install your favorite highlighting package in Atom for latex. (They might complain that you need to setup latex, just ignore that as we use an own builder.)
2. Install the save-commands package.
3. Add the following file to the root directory of your latex project:

{
    "commands": [
        "**/*.tex : /path/to/compile.sh {relPath}{filename}"
    ]
}

Acknowledgments

The repo from blang was a very good example, and was an inspiration for this repository.
