Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install latexmk on Fedora 34.
What is latexmk
Latexmk is a perl script for running LaTeX the correct number of times to resolve cross references, etc.; it also runs auxiliary programs (bibtex, makeindex if necessary, and dvips and/or a previewer as requested). It has a number of other useful capabilities, for example to start a previewer and then run latex whenever the source files are updated, so that the previewer gives an up-to-date view of the document. The script runs on both UNIX and MS-WINDOWS (95, ME, XP, etc). This script is a corrected and improved version of the original version of latexmk. Before using a previewer, read the file README.fedora.
