This tool is intended to be used for managing large volumes of programming assignments on programming courses. Assignments are imported into the program with a sleek UI. The user can then create assignment sets from the imported assignments. The sets are then exported into a LaTeX file, that can then be turned into a PDF using pdflatex.

This tool was started as a part of my Master's thesis at LUT University (Finland).

In order to run directly from source, install all dependecies with the install script in the root folder by running

./install.sh

OR by installing them individually from requirements.txt with

pip install -r requirements.txt

Start the program by running main.py.

To convert the TeX files the program creates to PDF's, you need to install pdflatex. Note that you need to install extra LaTeX packages, like lastpage. These should come with the LaTeX Extra. Mímir uses pdflatex via command-line to run it on Windows and normal shell on Linux. In addition, you need to install pygmentize for the PDF creation and highlighting to work.

You can install them using these commands on Ubuntu:

NOTE: The install script will also install these, so only use these if not using the install script.

sudo apt install texlive
sudo apt install texlive-latex-extra
sudo apt install python3-pygments
