Just for anyone reading this, this is where I put the plans for my documentation for how to set up cooking.toomwn.xyz on a Windows computer. I need to plan this out because I haven't actually designed it to work seamlessly on a Windows computer, so I gotta fix that now :(

Plan

  1. Install cygwin
  2. Install texlive, texlive-collection-binextra - need pdflatex from texlive-collection-latex
    • pdflatex then need pdfpages... maybe texlive-collection-latexextra?
    • texlive or texlive-collection-binextra may not be necessary...\
    • In summary: texlive, texlive-collection-binextra, texlive-collection-latex, texlive-collection-latexextra
  3. Initialise latex (texconfig-sys init) not sure if this does anything
  4. Install Python ** probably not needed? Cygwin installs by default
  5. Install flask with pip pip install -r requirements.txt in cygwin!!!!
    • Has to be Flask-Compress==1.40
  6. Run flask app flask run in the same folder
  7. Success!!

test whether the pdfjam command works or no, also need to be very sure that it places the produced pdf in the same directory :(
