TeXstudio setup

The project uses LuaLaTeX and biblatex with the biber backend. The recommended TeXstudio setup is to run latexmk, which reads settings from .latexmkrc.

  1. Open Options → Configure TeXstudio → Commands.

  1. In the Latexmk field, enter:
latexmk %.tex

  1. Open Options → Configure TeXstudio → Build.

  2. In Default Compiler, choose Latexmk.

Before the first build, make sure python, latexmk, lualatex, and biber are available in PATH. When TeX Live is installed, latexmk, lualatex, and biber are usually available together with the distribution. Python is required by PyLuaTeX during LaTeX compilation. The ready PDF will be created in the project root, and auxiliary files will be placed into .aux_files.

The fully manual scheme with separate lualatex and biber runs is described at the end of Build without Docker.
