I'm looking to configure kile-livepreview on Ubuntu with -shell-escape so that when I've saved the minted environment is compiled.

I'm successfully configured the PDFLatex and it works flawlessly. I couldn't find any information about how to configure it under Kile's configure menu or kilerc.

Is it possible to modify it?

Yes, it is possible. Open kilerc and navigate to the section [Tool/LivePreview-PDFLaTeX/Default]. Add -shell-escape to the options field under this section.

  • Not that I know of. But you can easily use a text editor. You usually use Ctrl+F in most text editors to search for

    [Tool/LivePreview-PDFLaTeX/Default]

    Once you're there you'll find a line that starts with options (mine looked like this: options=-synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode -output-directory=%dir_target %source).

    Prepend -shell-escape to the options so that you get something like this:

    options=-synctex=1 -shell-escape -interaction=nonstopmode -output-directory=%dir_target %source

  • No problem with finding and editing the file. Maybe you can enrich your answer with the above comment. – kelalaka Sep 27 '20 at 17:34

    For the ones on Windows with Kile installed from Microsoft Store I had trouble finding kilerc file: dir /s %userprofile%\kilerc Open with notepad, find Tool/LivePreview-PDFLaTeX and in options add -shell-escape: options=-shell-escape -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode -output-directory=%dir_target %source – Manuel Alves Feb 09 '22 at 11:59
