Compiling the LaTeX source

Prerequisites

Mathematica styles and fonts

MacOS X:

Run the following as root - modifying the path to match your Mathematica and TeX installation.

	curl -O http://www.feyncalc.org/download/mma_tex.tar.gz
	tar -xvzf mma_tex.tar.gz
	sudo tar -cvzf /usr/local/texlive.orig.tar.gz /usr/local/texlive
	sudo rsync --recursive mma_tex/ /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/
	sudo mktexlsr
	updmap-sys --enable Map=wolfram.map

Linux:

	curl -O http://www.feyncalc.org/download/mma_tex.tar.gz
	tar -xvzf mma_tex.tar.gz
	[ -e ~/.texlive2017/texmf-var ] || mkdir -p ~/.texlive2017/texmf-var
	rsync -r mma_tex/ ~/.texlive2017/texmf-var/
	echo "Map wolfram.map" > ~/.updmap.cfg
	echo "Map pdfwolfram.map" >> ~/.updmap.cfg
	mktexlsr ~/.texlive2017/texmf-var
	updmap -user --cnffile ~/.updmap.cfg
	rm ~/.updmap.cfg
  • On Fedora 20 please use ~/.texlive2013/texmf-var instead of ~/.texmf-var

Windows:

--- not tested --- The texmf directory with Mathematica TeX style files should be put in the search path of the TeX installation.
