2 Getting deplate

2.1 Requirements

Ruby interpreter

deplate was tested with Ruby/Cygwin 1.8.7 under WinXP; the win32 binary was generated with exerb and doesn’t require neither a ruby interpreter nor the deplate sources to be installed

Optional (you only need these if you want deplate to do certain things, i.e. use certain modules):

LaTeX, dvips, Ghostscript

For support of inline LaTeX

dvipng

For rendering LaTeX snippets as png

kpsewhich (most likely part of your LaTeX distribution)

For searching bibliography files

ImageMagick

The LaTeX-formatter uses the identify tool to guess image dimensions if you don’t provide them; see also 7.8

hpricot

HPricot is required by code-gvim71 module.

Jave

For converting images to ASCII representations to be used in plain text output.

dot, neato

For on-the-fly generation of figures and plots

R

For on-the-fly generation of plots and tables

ASCIIMathML.js

For use with the html-asciimath module

jsMath.js

For use with the html-jsmath module

Term::ANSIColor

For colored log output (when using the --color command line option)

mathml by KURODA Hiraku

For mathml in conjunction with the xhtml10t output formatter.

highlight

For syntax highlighting (see 9.2.4 and  11.2)

GVIM

For syntax highlighting (see 9.2.3 and  11.2) and maybe also for editing

Under MS Windows, the Cygwin environment comes with a convenient installer and provides ruby, latex, divps, gs, and ImageMagick.

The win32 binary was created using exerb and should work without ruby being installed. Be aware that some modules don’t work with the win32 binary version.

If you have ruby installed, you might want to use the rubygem version.
