Installation

Uninstall the previous version, if any

Windows

Go to the latest release and download PaperBuilder-Setup.exe. Run it. You can basically click through without much thought or changes. It will install PaperBuilder and Pandoc. It will also link you to MikTex installation.

Linux-Ubuntu

Go to the latest release and download PaperBuilder-Setup.sh. Run bash PaperBuilder-Setup.sh to install all dependencies (pandoc, texlive, python).

I’m too smart for installers

1. Install python3.7+, a latex compiler, and pandoc. Add all to path.
2. Go to latest release and download any of the source-files archive.
3. Extract to a folder of your choice. Add folder to PATH.
4. Run as PaperBuilder.py --help

Uninstallation

Windows

Either uninstall from the Control Panel, Settings, or run PaperBuilder uninstall. This will NOT uninstall MikTex

Linux-Ubuntu

Run the following:

1. rm -rf ~/.paperbuilder
2. sudo apt autoremove texlive-latex-extra pandoc
3. Edit ~/.bashrc to remove the pprb alias

Non Standard installation

1. Remove the extracted folder
2. Uninstall Python3.7, the latex compiler and pandoc
3. Also remove paths from PATH.
