Installation

Ibex is installed as from nuget.org as two separate components.

Ibex.PDF.Creator

The Ibex.PDF.Creator package contains the library which you will link to your own application. This can be downloaded either using the "Manage Nuget Packages" menu option from within Visual Studio or using the "dotnet add package" command on the command line.

Ibex.CommandLine

The Ibex.CommandLine package is a console application to create PDF files from the command line, for use during testing and development. The Ibex.CommandLine package is a .Net tool. This is installed from a command shell like so:.

> dotnet tool install -g Ibex.CommandLine

An existing installation can be updated using this command:

> dotnet tool update -g Ibex.CommandLine

It can be uninstalled using this command:

> dotnet tool uninstall --global Ibex.CommandLine

The Ibex.CommandLine tool, when it is installed as a dotnet global tool, is accessed using the command "ibex". So for example if we had a file called 'test.fo' this command would created a PDF file from it:

> ibex test.fo
