installation

[ghost]

I want to install this "packages" but I dont like to be in the same folder to create my flashcards. I'm using orgmode so this would be a real mess to deal with. How do I install on my pc so I dont need to care about these files anymore? I read something about texthash but I'm unsure how to use it.

i copied the repo to /usr/share/texmf-dist/ and run texhash but I still get an error about not finding Kartei.cls:

May I ask what orgmode is? Which OS are you running on? Linux? Then your way would be to use the local ~/texmf/tex/latex/local/ directory which would be a local installation, see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1137/where-do-i-place-my-own-sty-or-cls-files-to-make-them-available-to-all-my-te

I hope that helps.

Org mode is for keeping notes, maintaining TODO lists, planning projects, and authoring documents with a fast and effective plain-text system.

You can export your files written in org to a lot of formats:

• latex beamer,
• documents,
• libreoffice,
• markdown,
• pdf,
• html
• ical

But you also can tell org a different documentclass to use.

Thanks, this solved my issue! I prefer to place the file in /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/kartei so I dont need the texmf folder in my home dir. Works great!

Sounds nice, maybe i'll take a look at that; and nice, that the problem was solved and the package now works fine :)
