If you are running on any of the linux machines in the Scientific Computing, Mathematics, or Computer Science environment, there is an easy to use graphical user interface, Etextool, for processing your latex jobs.
To use the package, your path must include the directory
/usr/local/Ebin
If you are running the standard zsh installation, your path has already be configured. To check this do, echo $PATH which should show your path to include the /usr/local/Ebin directory, or type which Etextool which should show that Etextool is located in /usr/local/Ebin.
To use the package, type Etextool to obtain a list of options. When you invoke it, say with the command
Etextool FILE
where FILE.tex is a latex file, a set of buttons and an output window will appear. Push the 'help' button to obtain help on Etextool and on using tex and latex.
