Edit: Homebrew does not host rubber anymore. Try the Github instructions instead.





How to "Install rubber on Mac OSX" (source found here, last accessed 02.04.2019, 1426h UTC: http://macappstore.org/rubber/ )



Installation Guide taken in full from website. I did not write, edit or test any instruction beforehand. Use with caution and at own risk:




Install the App



1.) Press Command+Space and type Terminal and press enter/return key.
2.) Run in Terminal app:
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" < /dev/null 2> /dev/null

and press enter/return key.
If the screen prompts you to enter a password, please enter your Mac's user password to continue. When you type the password, it won't be displayed on screen, but the system would accept it. So just type your password and press ENTER/RETURN key. Then wait for the command to finish.
3.) Run:
brew install rubber


Done! You can now use rubber.




Edit2:



Found an alternative instruction set on github (source found here, last accessed 02.04.2019, 1440H UTC: https://github.com/oracleyue/rubber ).




Installation



Running Rubber just requires Python version 2.6 or newer. Of course
it won't be of much use without a working LaTeX environment (Rubber is
known to work on TeXLive and VTeX on various flavors of Unix including
Darwin and Cygwin, any feedback is welcome about other systems).



For compilation, you will need the Python Distutils, which are usually
included in development packages (in Debian, this is the python-dev
package). To build the documentation, you need texinfo (Debian
package: texinfo).



To compile and install Rubber, just follow the usual procedure:




# python2 setup.py --help
# python2 setup.py install
# python2 setup.py clean --all


For further instructions, see the source.

  • Rubber was deleted from Homebrew a few years ago, probably due to lack of use; theoretically it could likely be brought back.

  • It seems like github.com/oracleyue/rubber (latest commit 2018-03-08) is an unmaintained fork of the main repository at launchpad.net/rubber (latest commit 2019-01-06).

  • @EddieSchoute since it's a fork, I have no clue, how it differs from the original. I currently don't run a *nix based system, so testing or researching any deeper on this topic is unfeasible for me. if you find an answer, that works for you, based on what I found in 5 minutes of googling, you're welcome to post it.
