Then compile the coffee script source files: Then build the Docker image:
$ grunt install $ docker build . -t overleaf/clsi
Finally, (after configuring your local database - see the Config section), run the CLSI service: Then pull the TeXLive image:
$ grunt run $ docker pull texlive/texlive
The CLSI should then be running at http://localhost:3013. Then start the Docker container:
$ docker run --rm \

Note: if you're running the CLSI in macOS you may need to use `-v /var/run/docker.sock.raw:/var/run/docker.sock` instead.
The CLSI should then be running at <http://localhost:3013>
Config Config
------ ------
You will need to set up a database in mysql to use with the CLSI, and then fill in the database name, username and password in the config file at `config/settings.development.coffee`. The CLSI will use a SQLite database by default, but you can optionally set up a MySQL database and then fill in the database name, username and password in the config file at `config/settings.development.coffee`.
