1. Download the Toolkit

Downloading the Toolkit

The Toolkit is compatible with both the Server CE and CEP and is the recommended installation method. Using the Toolkit will allow you to easily get started with Server CE and seamlessly upgrade to CEP if required.

1

Clone the Overleaf Toolkit repository

To install the Toolkit you'll need to navigate to the intended installation path and then clone the Overleaf Toolkit GitHub repository using this command:

Clone repository

git clone https://github.com/overleaf/toolkit.git ./overleaf-toolkit

To prevent any potential permissions issues we recommend installing the Toolkit in your user's $HOME directory.

2

Change into the toolkit directory

Wait for the cloning process to complete then let's switch into the newly created overleaf-toolkit directory:

Change directory

cd ./overleaf-toolkit
