Latex project example

Dependencies

You will need latexmk for this script:

To install it in Debian based distributions:

sudo apt install latexmk

And in Archlinux:

sudo pacman -S texlive-core

Installation

You can clone this repository with the command below

git clone git@github.com:lulivi/latex-project-example.git

or just click on the "Download as zip" button.

Usage

1. Firstly, select your favourite pdf viewer. To define it, you should go to the script update_pdf_latex.sh and modify the line containing the following text:

PREVIEWER="evince"

Change evince with whichever pdf viewer you want.

2. Secondly, go to your desired directory where you will use the latex template and run this command:

bash /path/to/repository/latex_project_copy.sh

This will copy the required files to your current directory.

3. Finally, run the updater script. Use ./update_pdf_latex.sh -h to show you the help.

References

I got the idea of this script mainly from two blog entries made by Elbaulp:

• Compilar automáticamente ficheros en latex mientras los modificamos.
• Ejecutar un script al modificar un fichero con inotify.

Also you can checkout the latexmk man page.
