Development Instructions

Setup (Ubuntu, Non-Docker, VSCode-Style)

• Run WSL
• Setup sshkey
• Clone repo
• Run code . in VsCode to open the repo in WSL
• Download Code Spell Checker from VSCode Extension Marketplace
• Download LaTeX Workshop from VSCode Extension Marketplace
• Use a venv environment for this project, source <VENV_NAME>/bin/activate
• Run python3 scripts/setup.py to install everything required for building

Note: There is a DOCKERFILE that can also be used to compile the book (and is used in CI). However, we strongly recommend the above workflow with VSCode for development as it's a lot more interactive, even though it involves installing system packages.

Building

• Run python3 scripts/build_book.py

Note: it's also possible to:

• Open and save main.tex to compile the entire directory
• Open and save {filename}.tex to compile an individual file

However, this will not generate images or check code snippets.
