Attention: I no longer recommend this method. Do use Docker with VS Code Remote Containers instead, as mentioned in the wiki: https://github.com/James-Yu/LaTeX-Workshop/wiki/Install#using-docker
Provides Docker shims for LaTeX binaries used by https://github.com/James-Yu/LaTeX-Workshop
Motivation:
- Easy installation.
- Does not mess with your local files.
I am using this on MacOS, but this should work on unix generally. Windows is not supported currently. Contributions are welcome!
- Install Docker for MacOS (https://www.docker.com/community-edition#/download or run
brew cask install dockerif you havebrew) - Clone this repository
- Add the
bindirectory to your path - In VS Code, install the awesome https://github.com/James-Yu/LaTeX-Workshop extension
- Ready! Building, linting, SyncTex, formatting just works!
