Section M.1 Setup
We will assume you have the following:
An existing PreTeXt project, in a folder called
PROJECT
.A Python installation at version 3.8 or newer.
The PreTeXt-CLI, installed using the instructions in Section 2.1.
For usage of the CLI, see Section 5.2.
The first thing we will do is to create a new folder. Call this folder PROJECT-CLI
, and put it at the same level as the PROJECT
folder. In a terminal (or in Python), enter the PROJECT-CLI
directory, and run the pretext new book
command. This will create the directory structure that the PreTeXt-CLI expects.
You now should see the following:
A
project.ptx
fileAn
assets
folderA
generated-assets
folderA
publication
folderA
source
folder
Within the source
folder, there will be a file called main.ptx
, and within the publication
folder, there will be a publisher file, called publication.ptx
.
