# Instructions for compiling this project in CoCalc

> [CoCalc](https://academiccloud.de/services/cocalc/) is a web service for data scientists. As part of the [AcademicCloud](https://academiccloud.de/), it is available to students at University of Bamberg. CoCalc is useful for collaboration on $\LaTeX$ documents, Jupyter Notebooks, and much more. CoCalc provides an [extensive documentation](https://doc.cocalc.com/latex.html).

> **Please note**: The Academic Cloud version is currently in preview, causing limited resources, no backups, and changes without prior notice. Use at your own risk.

This tutorial demonstrates how to set up CoCalc to compile the LaTeX script.

## Project setup

1. Open CoCalc. Students at University of Bamberg may use [this instance](https://academiccloud.de/services/cocalc/).
2. Click the blue button to go to your projects.
3. Click on “Create Project …”.
   + Add a title (e.g., “latex-workshop”).
   + Click on “Customize software environment” and choose “TeXLive” from the dropdown.
   + Create the project and wait for the initialization to finish. It is done when you see a blue button allowing you to “Create or Upload Files …”
4. Choose “Explorer” on the left side and click on “Upload.” Select your compressed project archive. Once uploaded, click on the name and proceed to “Extract Files …”
5. Back in the Explorer, you can now navigate through our project directory. Go to the file `main-exercises.tex`. It should load a familiar $\LaTeX$ work environment and automatically build the document for you. Compilation will be triggered whenever you hit `Ctrl + S`.
