Welcome to the documentation for the Overleaf Toolkit.

This documentation is under construction. You can still find the legacy documentation on the Overleaf Wiki

Dependencies​

This project requires a modern unix system as a base (such as Ubuntu Linux). It also requires bash and docker.

The bin/doctor script can be used to check for missing dependencies.

Note: MacOS does not ship with a realpath program. In this case we fall back to a custom shell function to imitate some of what realpath does, but it is relatively limited. We recommend users on MacOS install the gnu coreutils with brew install coreutils, to get a working version of realpath.

Host Environment​

The Overleaf Toolkit is tested on Ubuntu Linux, but we expect that most modern Linux systems will be able to run the toolkit without problems. Although it is possible to run the toolkit on other platforms, they are not officially supported.
