# Biber-N-Build, Version 4 

#  Warning:
#  -------
#  This build script requires the installation of biber, lualatex, and the full texlive library on an Ubuntu or Debian based system to work. Most likely it can be built using the same packages on other systems, but such a build is presently untested.

mv beigepaper.tex foopaper.bar # Temporarily rename the source file.
rm beigepaper* 		       # Remove the previously built files.
mv foopaper.bar beigepaper.tex # Rename the source file.
lualatex beigepaper.tex        # 1st build from source.
biber beigepaper 	       # Generate bibliography.
lualatex beigepaper.tex        # 2nd build from source w/ bibliography.
makeindex beigepaper.idx       # Generate index.
lualatex beigepaper.tex        # 3rd build from source w/ bibliography and index.
