Overleaf is a popular collaborative online LaTeX editor that allows users to work on their LaTeX documents together in real-time.
This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Overleaf on Clear Linux Latest.
Overleaf is distributed as a Docker container. Thus, the first step is to install Docker on Clear Linux Latest using the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add containers-basic
This command will install the Containers Basic bundle, which includes Docker.
Docker Compose is a tool that allows defining and running multi-container Docker applications. To install Docker Compose, run the following commands:
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.27.4/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
These commands will download and install Docker Compose on Clear Linux Latest.
To install Overleaf, you need to download the Overleaf Docker Compose file. Run the following command to download the file:
sudo curl -L https://github.com/overleaf/overleaf/raw/master/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml
This command will download the Overleaf Docker Compose file to the current directory.
To start Overleaf, run the following command in the directory where you downloaded the Docker Compose file:
docker-compose up -d
This command will start the Overleaf container in detached mode, meaning the container will run in the background.
Overleaf is now running on Clear Linux Latest. To access it, open a web browser and go to http://localhost.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Overleaf on Clear Linux Latest using Docker. With Overleaf, you can collaborate with others on LaTeX documents in real-time.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
