In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Overleaf on EndeavourOS latest version.
Before we begin, please make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
The first step is to install TexLive on your EndeavourOS system using the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S texlive-core texlive-fontsextra texlive-latexextra texlive-science
Type in your password and hit Enter to install.
Open your browser and navigate to the Overleaf website. Click on the “Download” button on the top right corner of the page. Select the appropriate version for your system, in this case, Linux.
Once the download is complete, go to the Downloads folder, and extract the downloaded file using the following command:
tar xvfz overleaf_v2.tar.gz
A new folder named Overleaf will be created in your Downloads folder with all the necessary files.
Now, move this folder to the /opt directory using the following command:
sudo mv ~/Downloads/Overleaf /opt/
Create a symbolic link to the Overleaf executable file for easy access using the following command:
sudo ln -s /opt/Overleaf/overleaf /usr/local/bin/overleaf
To start Overleaf, simply open your terminal and type the following command:
overleaf
Press Enter, and voilà! Overleaf is now running on your EndeavourOS system.
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed Overleaf on EndeavourOS latest version. You can now use the powerful online LaTeX editor for your document preparation needs. Happy editing!
