Fox

Version 0.0.2-2-g78e0147

Fox [1] is a complete solution for scientific paper scaffolding, tooling and author support. It allows the bootstrapping or generation of dummy default paper with a rails scaffold like commandline tool.

Fox supports the configuration of various methods of pdf push to remote locations to allow for efficient file sharing with co-authors.

Fox, currently supports only IEEE Robotics & Automation Society (ICRA) [2].

[1] Paper Fox, named after an in similar spirit deviation from the german "papier tiger" [2] IEEE Robotics and Automation Society's flagship conference, IEEE Robotics & Automation Society, http://icra2015.org/

This Software was originally developed and tested on 32-bit x86 / SMP based PCs running on Gentoo GNU/Linux 3.12.x. Other direct Linux and Unix derivates should be viable too as long as all dynamical linking dependencys are met.

A general developers API guide can be extracted from the Yardoc subdirectory which is able to generate HTML as well as PDF docs. Please refer to the [Rake|Make]file for additional information how to generate this documentation.

By running gem comand (stable version)

gem install fox

or by adding to Gemfile (unstable version)

gem 'fox', git: 'https://github.com/rennhak/fox', branch: 'develop'

As library

2.1.2 :001 > require 'fox'
 => true

or from the command line

~# fox

Commands:
  fox generate

Get a copy of current source from SCM

~# git clone https://github.com/rennhak/fox

Install system dependencies (e.g. Debian/GNU)

~# apt-get install iconv
~# apt-get install imagemagick libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev libmagic1 libmagic-dev
~# apt-get install curl screen less vim
~# apt-get install zlib1g zlib1g-dev

Install RVM (may not apply)

~# curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

Make sure to follow install instructions and also integrate it also into your shell. e.g. for ZSH, add this line to your .zshrc.

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ;

or

~# echo "source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm" >> ~/.zshrc

Create proper RVM gemset

~# rvm --create use 2.1.3@fox_project

Install Ruby VM 2.1.x or better

~# rvm install 2.1.3

Install libraries via bundler

~# gem install bundler
~# bundle

Development uses SQLite3

~# apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev

~# rake build

~# gem install pkg/fox-X.X.X.gem

~# cd pkg
~# gem push -V fox-X.X.X.gem
