Short overview

sltx is a simple (python 3.5+) script, i've written for my own purposes (LaTeX). It uses sltx-dep.yml files to track my latex dependencies over various repositories and installs them on the host-system. I use it only under linux, with texlive installed, but it should work for other os too. You can configure the installer for your host-system using the sltx-config.yml or supply it while installing.

How to get

The script including the Package sltxpkg is available with pypi/sltx So simply install it like any other Python package with sltx with pip:

pip3 install sltx

Afterwards sltx should be available as a normal script! Afterwards you can updates with pip3 and the --upgrade-flag.

How to setup

If you just want the auto configuration, type

sltx auto-setup

Please note, that this command requires docker to be installed. If you have texlive or an comparable variant (having a texmf-home) installed on your local machine you may use the -d flag to download the LaTeX-libraries shipped with the container(s).

How to compile

If you just want to compile a document and have any docker container installed, use:

sltx compile <document>

If you do not want to compile in the docker-container (or if you have none), please use the following instead.

sltx raw-compile <document>

For further help add -h to the commands to get more information about arguments.

How to run

Just run sltx or sltx -h to get the help menu. If you want to install dependencies from a file like dep.yml run:

sltx dep dep.yml

If you have your own configuration, lets say it is name "config.yml" add -c config.yml.

If you want to generate a github workflow just type sltx gen-gha.

Todos

• add .sltx-src.yml or some similar file so that the repo itself can determine what it should serve? -- maybe allow different "sets"?

• Update functionality
