Help & Advice

I am new to Tectonic. I just brew installed it and tried to compile my thesis.

error: terminal input forbidden

I can’t even understand what the error message means. Could someone please help me get started?
With pdflatex it compiles, but it stops in the middle and I have to press enter to finish the compilation.

Probably means you have a compile error, if it asks for user input. Fix it!

You can use --keep-logs (to save the log file) or --print (to display the log) in order to check exactly what is your tex error (if any). I suspect that some file is missing.
