Installation

Dependencies

• Python >= 3.13
• LaTeX (pdflatex and latexmk)

The Python packages that mcqpy uses will be installed alongside mcqpy when installed with e.g. pip or uv.

Installing LaTeX

You will also need a working LaTeX installation, once mcqpy is installed you can check for that using

mcqpy check-latex

Which will output the versions of pdflatex and latexmk if they are installed, if not you should install an OS appropriate LaTeX distribution for example from one of these sources:

• macOS: MacTeX
• Windows: TeX Live or MiKTeX
• Linux: TeX Live (usually available through your package manager, e.g., sudo apt install texlive-full on Ubuntu/Debian)
