Using AMC in command line only¶

(under construction)

These instructions should help you use AMC in command line only without having to open the graphical user interface.
These instructions work with version 1.1.0 of AMC.

Note that when ou run AMC graphical interface and begin a debugging session (from the Help menu), all AMC commands called by the graphical interface will be recorded in the log file. This can help you to figure out which exact command can do what you need.

Creating a new project¶

There is no AMC command to create a new project, so you will need to create directories "manually". I use the following bash script to create the directories:

#!/bin/bash
# file name: new_project.sh
PROJECT_DIR=$HOME/MC-Projects

mkdir $PROJECT_DIR/$1
mkdir $PROJECT_DIR/$1/cr
mkdir $PROJECT_DIR/$1/cr/corrections
mkdir $PROJECT_DIR/$1/cr/corrections/jpg
mkdir $PROJECT_DIR/$1/cr/corrections/pdf
mkdir $PROJECT_DIR/$1/cr/diagnostic
mkdir $PROJECT_DIR/$1/cr/zooms
mkdir $PROJECT_DIR/$1/data
mkdir $PROJECT_DIR/$1/exports
mkdir $PROJECT_DIR/$1/scans
mkdir $PROJECT_DIR/$1/copies

then you can create a new poject by typing:

$ ./new_project.sh my-new-project1

Prepare tests¶

You need to have your .tex file created before following with the instructions below.
In the following examples, we will suppose that your latex file name is test.tex

Creating the PDFs¶

The next step consists of creating the subject file, the correction file and the position file. By typing:

$ cd ~/MC-Projects/my-new-project1/
$ auto-multiple-choice prepare --mode s --prefix ./ ./test.tex \
    --out-sujet DOC-subject.pdf \
    --out-corrige DOC-correction.pdf \
    --out-calage DOC-calage.xy

This command will create 3 files:

• DOC-subject.pdf is a file containing all copies.
• DOC-correction.pdf is a file with the correct answer checked so you can review the answers.
• DOC-calage.xy is the position file.

You also need to extract the scroing data from the source file. Typing from your project directory:

$ auto-multiple-choice prepare --mode b --prefix ./ ./test.tex --data ./data/

This command will create various SQLite files in the data directory.

Prepare the layout information¶

The following command will get the layout information from the working document to the layout database:

$ auto-multiple-choice meptex --src $PROJECT_DIR/$1/DOC-calage.xy --data $PROJECT_DIR/$1/data

Printing your documents¶

You can use the DOC-subject.pdf file and print it. However, if you want to create separate files for each students, type the following:

$ auto-multiple-choice imprime --sujet ./DOC-subject.pdf \ 
    --data ./data/ \ 
    --methode file \ 
    --output ./copies/test-%e.pdf

Analyzing the copies¶

Once you have scanned all the student's copies, place them in the scans/ directory. The next command will analyze all the files in the scans/ directory.

$ auto-multiple-choice analyse --projet ./ ./scans/*

You can also have certain files analyzed using the --list-fichiers option. Read AMC-analyse's manpage for more information.
