#

let me know how you go))

unreal whale Jun 30, 2023, 1:07 AM

#

hiiii! i made it!

#

but i have another question, i have a latex zip file imported from overleaf, how can i open a zip file in vs code to run just like overleaf?

gloomy island Jun 30, 2023, 1:08 AM

#

what format is the zip file?

#

tar.gz? tar.xz? .zip?

unreal whale Jun 30, 2023, 1:09 AM

#

.zip

gloomy island Jun 30, 2023, 1:09 AM

#

and I'm assuming you're on Windows?

unreal whale Jun 30, 2023, 1:09 AM

#

yesss

gloomy island Jun 30, 2023, 1:09 AM

#

If you double click the zip you should be able to extract it

unreal whale Jun 30, 2023, 1:11 AM

#

oh, i know, it's just that when i upload a zip file in overleaf, it shows me everything on the file the way it should be, like i don't have to upload photos etc, one file and it's all there and overleaf can read this and i was wondering if vs code can do the same thing

gloomy island Jun 30, 2023, 1:13 AM

#

No, I don't think so

unreal whale Jun 30, 2023, 1:13 AM

#

so, i have to import everything individually? 😦

gloomy island Jun 30, 2023, 1:14 AM

#

Ideally you'd have some structure in your root working directory

#

like this, for example

#

I'm not sure how "one file" can have everything you need

unreal whale Jun 30, 2023, 1:17 AM

#

can you look at it? i can send you what i have

gloomy island Jun 30, 2023, 1:17 AM

#

Do you have link to your overleaf document?

unreal whale Jun 30, 2023, 1:17 AM

#

like, it's in portuguese cause im from brazil

gloomy island Jun 30, 2023, 1:18 AM

#

That shouldn't matter at all 😄

unreal whale Jun 30, 2023, 1:18 AM

#

gloomy island Do you have link to your overleaf document?

no, they give it to us as a .zip

gloomy island Jun 30, 2023, 1:19 AM

#

Ok before we proceed any further, let me just clarify what you are looking for

unreal whale Jun 30, 2023, 1:19 AM

#

ok!

gloomy island Jun 30, 2023, 1:19 AM

#

You want to work on your Overleaf document locally
when you download the source from Overleaf, you get it as a zip
You want to know how you can use this zip to work locally on your VSCode

correct?

unreal whale Jun 30, 2023, 1:20 AM

#

yes it is!

#

📎 AeroTeX-main.zip

gloomy island Jun 30, 2023, 1:20 AM

#

Then my suggestion is

Extract the zip file.
Open the extracted folder on VSCode
Done

#

This is how it looks for me when I follow those steps.

unreal whale Jun 30, 2023, 1:23 AM

#

OMG!!!!!! thank you soooo much

#

like, if im going to do a file in latex using vscode, i always have to create an folder to put all the images etc?

gloomy island Jun 30, 2023, 1:25 AM

#

You don't have to, but it gets messier if you have 37 images in the same directory as your other important files

#

It's for the purpose of organisation

unreal whale Jun 30, 2023, 1:32 AM

#

understood!

#

and, whats the difference between texlive and miktex?

#

i heard something about perl (??)

#

when i tested on my computer at work, miktex worked with this perl

#

but i would like to understand the difference between these two

gloomy island Jun 30, 2023, 1:42 AM

#

they are just different distributions for macropackages/packages

unreal whale Jun 30, 2023, 1:47 AM

#

understood!

#

look, thank you so much! i am getting a new computer in a few weeks so i will have to do this all over again and this was really helpful!

#

im still learning how to use vs code

gloomy island Jun 30, 2023, 1:52 AM

#

All good, come again when you need more help 😄

unreal whale Jun 30, 2023, 2:02 AM

#

thanks!

#

ohhh, the last question

#

it's about vs code

#

when you open a folder in explorer at left, how do you delete it from there

gloomy island Jun 30, 2023, 2:03 AM

#

delete?

#

as in closing the project?

#

(Ctrl+K F) command should do it

unreal whale Jun 30, 2023, 11:56 AM

#

ok!

#

again, thank you for the support <33

unreal whale Jul 3, 2023, 12:21 PM

#

gloomy island This is how it looks for me when I follow those steps.

hi! sorry to bother you again, it worked but shows me error

#

idk how to fix it

#

i'll try to uninstall miktex and install texlive

gloomy island Jul 4, 2023, 1:11 AM

#

What is the error you see?

unreal whale Jul 13, 2023, 3:27 PM

#

brave umbra Jul 13, 2023, 8:28 PM
