Description Bernardo Meurer 2019-06-21 20:31:31 UTC

arara is a TeX automation tool based on rules and directives. It gives you a way to enhance your TeX experience. The tool is an effort to provide a concise way to automate the daily TeX workflow for users and also package writers. Users might write their own rules when the provided ones do not suffice.[1]

unfortunately it is written in Java and I could not find any instructions on the compilation. See also:

Apparently you need to build the TeX manual, and then the install/compile instructions should be described in chapter 8. I will do so and post a PDF link here.

Ah, of course, you need arara to build the arara manual...

Alright, here is a hosted version of the Arara manual: https://lovesegfault.com/files/arara-manual.pdf
