README.md

apl is a minimal (~10 MiB) distribution built on Lua for nicians who needs a self-contained modern setup.

Despite its name, it is not related with the A Programming Language in any sense.

Installation

The supported kernels are Linux and Darwin/XNU. Make sure you have make, sed and curl installed, then use build.sh under the scripts folder to build, and clean.sh to cleanup.

This will create the texmf folder which contains the built engine, fonts and format. You can put it anywhere on your disk, but its name should remain.
