Tooling to install and run Tectonic: A modernized, complete, self-contained TeX/LaTeX engine.
Tectonic
Because the LaTeX ecosystem has been around for so long (TeX was first released in 1978!), it can be tricky to wrangle all the compilers, packages, etc. to get a working build, and even harder to get reproducible results from workstation to server.
The Tectonic typesetting system simplifies this process as a stand-alone executable that:
- Wraps both XeTeX and TeXLive
- Automatically downloads support files
- Automatically loops Tex/BibTex to fully process the document
- Never asks for user interaction
- Fully supports OpenType fonts and Unicode
Check out the Get Started guide for installation and basic usage.
