Super quick start

Install papis with pip3

sudo pip3 install papis

Let us download a couple of documents

wget http://www.gnu.org/s/libc/manual/pdf/libc.pdf
wget http://www.ams.org/notices/201304/rnoti-p434.pdf

Now add them to the (defaultly created) library, you can set any keyword you like already when adding documents, for instance you can set the year --set year 2018 or tags for organizing --set tags programming,

papis add libc.pdf --set author "Sandra Loosemore" --set title "GNU C reference manual" --set year 2018 --set tags programming --confirm
# Get paper information automatically via de DOI
papis add --from-doi 10.1090/noti963 --set tags programming rnoti-p434.pdf

Now open one for example, or edit them

papis open
papis edit

superquickstartsvg1 Or edit them and export them to bibtex
