The project is organized as follows:

We encourage using the LaTeX Workshop VS Code extension. In order to use it you need a TeX installation (see https://github.com/James-Yu/LaTeX-Workshop/wiki/Install). They "strongly recommend TeX Live".
You may also need Inkscape.
Tip
If VS Code is not your code editor of choice, you can mimic the intended compilation by reproducing the latexmk tool in .vscode/settings.json.
Version 0.12.0 or higher, see https://typst.app/
