CADET-Equations

CADET-Equations is a Python tool designed to generate modeling equations for packed-bed chromatography.
It provides a simple user interface that allows users to configure the model, and outputs the corresponding mathematical equations in LaTeX format.

Installation

To get started with CADET-Equations, you need to install the required Python dependencies and a LaTeX compiler.

Step 1: Install Python Dependencies

Create a new Conda environment with Python 3.10:

conda create -n cadet-equations python=3.10

Next, install the necessary Python packages using `pip` by running the following commands:

```bash
conda activate cadet-equations

conda install pip

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 2: Install LaTeX Compiler

CADET-Equations requires a LaTeX compiler to generate mathematical equations in LaTeX format.

1. If you are using a Linux-based system, you can install the necessary LaTeX packages using the following command:

# Install LaTeX compiler
sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-base texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-fonts-extra texlive-latex-extra

2. If you use windows, do as follows:

1. Download MiKTeX

Download the MiKTeX installer for Windows from the official site:

👉 https://miktex.org/download

Choose the "Net Installer" for Windows (64-bit).

---

2. Install MiKTeX

• Run the downloaded .exe installer.

• Choose "Install for just me" (unless you need system-wide installation).

• During installation, make sure to enable:

  ✅ "Install missing packages on-the-fly"

This is important: it allows MiKTeX to automatically fetch any required LaTeX packages when needed by your app or script.

---

3. Verify the Installation

After installation is complete:

• Open a new Command Prompt (or Miniforge Prompt)
• Run the following command:

pdflatex --version

This will install the required LaTeX components needed to render equations properly.

## Usage

Once you have installed the necessary dependencies, you can use the tool to generate packed-bed chromatography modeling equations.

```bash
# Run the tool (replace with your script or command)
streamlit run Equation-Generator.py

Notes

• Ensure that the LaTeX compiler is correctly installed and accessible from your terminal.
• If you encounter any issues with LaTeX rendering, check the LaTeX installation or adjust configurations as needed.
