Enabling math markup Organic Design procedure |
Enabling math markup requires the following binaries latex, dvips, gs, and convert. These must all be available in $PATH. The binary texvc must also be available, either as a binary or source installation.
Source installation of texvc
- Note: OCaml 3.06 or later is required to compile texvc; this can be acquired from http://caml.inria.fr/ if your system doesn't have it available. The apt-get commands
apt-get install dvipng tetex-extra cjk-latex ocaml(documented in Debian Post Install) install OCaml. - Inside each mediawiki instance ./math directory there is a README file which documents the process involved to make an executable from source called texvc.
Binary installation of texvc
The apt-get install mediawiki-math creates the texvc executable in /usr/local/bin.
You should then test that it works from the command line for example;
texvc /tmp /var/www/mediawiki-1.12.0/math "y=x+2" iso-8859-1
should create a file in /var/www/mediawiki-1.12.0/math.
Make sure the directories 'tmp' and 'math' under 'images' exist and are writable.
