Description

LPM (LaTeX Project Manager) is a simple project manager to generate a new LaTeX project from a template.

Installation

Requirements - see requirements.txt for more information

How to install LPM ?

1. clone the project on your system with git clone https://github.com/iScsc/lpm.git
2. cd into the project directory and modify the path_to_source field in the settings/config.json file with the absolute path to your LaTeX sources.
3. in the same file, describe the dependencies of your custom classes and documents according to this nomenclature :

"latex_class":[
    {
    "name":"classname",
    "dependencies":[
        "mypackage.sty",
        "packages.tex",
        "main.tex",
        "classname.cls"
        ]
    }
]

Remarks - Note that LPM will create by default a new project in the same directory as the git repository. You can change this behavior by editing the second line of the src/app.cfg config file with the absolute (or relative) path to the directory of your choice.

How to use LPM ?

To use LPM, simply run the src/main.py file in your terminal. A text interface will be created. You juste have to follow the instructions !
