scimax - Awesome editing for scientists and engineers

Scimax is a rewrite of jmax, with lessons learned, and improvements.

See the manual for more details.

Installation

Windows users

Install git (http://git-scm.com/download/win). Open a git bash terminal. Run this command.

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jkitchin/scimax/master/install-scimax-win.sh)"

There is an emacs binary in this repository for Windows. You should be able to run the scimax.sh command to launch scimax now.

Mac users

Run the next command in your terminal in the location you want to install scimax. The command will make sure you have homebrew, git, and emacs installed, and then will clone scimax and tell you how to use it. It will take some time to install. You need to install your own LaTeX and Python probably.

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jkitchin/scimax/master/install-scimax-mac.sh)"

Alternative manual installation of scimax for Mac users

Alternatively, you can install homebrew yourself, install git from http://git-scm.com/download/mac, build your emacs like this:

brew install emacs --with-gnutls --with-imagemagick --with-librsvg --with-x11 --use-git-head --HEAD --with-cocoa

This got me:

(emacs-version)

These days I am using Python3 from Continuum IO and MacTeX from http://www.tug.org/mactex.

After that, I clone scimax like this:

git clone https://github.com/jkitchin/scimax.git

and launch emacs with:

emacs -q -l scimax/init.el

Linux users

Run this command. It checks for a git and emacs, but does not install them. You will have to use your package manager for that. You also need to install your own LaTeX and Python (and other languages you might want).

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jkitchin/scimax/master/install-scimax-linux.sh)"
