This repo provides a basic environment in which you can start writing LaTeX. Its main purpose is for personal use, so my setup choices (in settings.tex) may reflect that.
Create your own repo from this template, clone and cd into it, then follow the next steps to get set up.
For consistent usage, this project requires Docker. You'll need to install it and start up the Docker Engine. Then, run
docker build -t tectonic .To install more packages (e.g., fonts), add on to the # Install extra packages line in the Dockerfile and run the above command again.
LaTeX Workshop is recommended. It will automatically rebuild a .tex file when you save it. Or, you can run this each time you want to rebuild:
docker run --mount=type=bind,source="$(pwd)",target=/home/user \
tectonic --synctex --keep-logs <filename.tex>
