Newbie having trouble with instructions

Question

Newbie having trouble with instructions

pfuntner opened this issue a year ago · comments

I saw your post on Mastodon and wanted to try out the repo. I'm a software engineer (mostly Python and Ansible these days) but don't think I've ever used Latex.

I tried the instructions but I think something isn't working right. I was confused by simply run latex twice on the file "graph paper.tex" to produce a pdf. From the command line, type: pdflatex "graph paper.tex"... I'm not sure why I need to run a command twice or what command is that I'm supposed to run twice but I tried the suggested command once:

$ pdflatex "graph paper.tex"

I was just hitting Enter to the prompts and obviously I don't know what I'm doing. I don't think the log file is significantly different than stdout but here is it: graph paper.log

Hi John, It looks like PGF / TikZ isn’t installed. This is a library (“package”) for LaTeX that gives it a set of commands for drawing various graphic primitives. What LaTeX distro are you using? Most distros have facilities for one-click installing packages, so it should be as simple as using that to install TikZ. Let me know if that works, and if not then I will do what I can to help.

Thanks for your fast reply!

What LaTeX distro are you using?

Ummm... I dunno?

$ apt list --installed | grep -i latex

I installed libpgf6 and tikzit with apt and think they helped some but I'm still getting an error:

Hmm, it has been several years since I’ve install TeX on a linux distro, and back then it was Red Hat / Fedora, but I bet we can work this out. Can you tell me if you have texlive installed? It should show up in the same installed list via apt.

I believe the apt package you want is called texlive-latex-extra. It should have all the dependancies, and the gridpapers package should also be included (I found a contents listing at https://packages.debian.org/sid/texlive-latex-extra). Once you have texlive-latex-extra installed, you should be able to compile examples like graph paper.tex without needing to have gridpapers.sty in the same working directory.
