Install scimax with homebrew

The goal of this repo is to make a Tap for homebrew to install scimax and dependencies.

Installation

Prerequisites

scimax needs working installations of Emacs, texlive and Python + Jupyter.

If you need an Emacs, I recommend you run this:

brew tap d12frosted/emacs-plus
brew install emacs-plus@28

If you need texlive for making LaTeX and pdf files you should run:

brew install texlive

Finally, you probably need to install Anaconda Python. This is a cask, so install it like this. This may be Mac specific. You can also install it from https://www.anaconda.com/download/. Other Python installations may work, but this one is the easiest and has most of what you need.

brew install --cask anaconda

Installing scimax

After those, you can install scimax like this.

brew tap jkitchin/homebrew-scimax
$ brew install scimax

Updating / reinstalling

Probably you should first uninstall scimax.

brew uninstall scimax

Then, it is a good idea to update brew, and reinstall it.

brew update && brew install scimax
