Installation

Aside from a working LaTeX installation (TeX Live recommended), all you need is

• a working Ruby installation (version 2.3.0 or higher) and
• a working Gnuplot installation.

The latter is due to a shortcoming in how dependencies are handles (cf. #65). This is going to be fixed at some point in the future.

Then,

• clone ltx2any to your machine with Git, e.g.

  git clone https://github.com/akerbos/ltx2any.git /your/path/to/ltx2any

  on UNIX-style shells, and

• put (a link to) ltx2any.rb into the PATH.

Tips for GNU/Linux

• You can symlink Bash script ltx2any from a folder in your PATH.
• A convenient way to install Pandoc is with cabal update; cabal install pandoc. You can keep it up to date using the same command.

Tips for Windows

• Install Ruby 2.3.0 (x64) or later by using the RubyInstaller.

• Install gnuplot; gp503-win32-mingw.exe works.

  During installation, at "Select Additional Tasks", put a checkmark at "Add application directory to your PATH environment variable" (scroll down at the window).

• pandoc works if its available in your PATH environment.

• Having ruby and gnuplot installed, you can run ltx2any by invoking ruby <path-to-clone-of-ltx2any>\ltx2any.rb <file>.
