Tex

Build tool and artifacts for LaTeX documents.

Install

To avoid installing tex dependencies on the host machine, we'll use containers and mounted volume to run the build in a self-contained environment.

Setup to use podman, but can be easily updated to use docker.

Build

Multiple Steps (for any document)

# build image
make build

# generate pdf for tex document
FileName="example.tex"
./run_tex.sh pdflatex --interaction=nonstopmode --output-dir=./output ${FileName}

Generate Resume (with custom script)

./build_resume.sh

Clean Up

Sometimes image builds or container executions may fail if given improper input. In these cases, the follow commands may be required to get back to a clean slate.

# stop all containers
podman stop $(podman ps -q)

# delete containers
podman rm $(podman ps -a -q)

# delete dangling images
podman rmi -f $(podman images -f "dangling=true" -q)
