Need some help.. localizing latex and pdf rendering

Hello, how are you guys?

I'm currently working with a student to make an application.

We are developing a math worksheet generator and currently using this repository.

https://github.com/davidcarlisle/latexcgi

It is a Perl script that requires texlive.js installation on the server as well as pdflatex.

Latex cig-bin accepts HTTP requests and renders pdf files at "texlive.net".

However, we would like to localize the rendering at pythonanywhere so we could display it quicker.

The author explained how to localize it here https://github.com/davidcarlisle/latexcgi/issues/1

However I'm not so familiar with Perl and backend.. so I was wondering if there would be anyone to help us out.

Our app is located here http://seankmmt.pythonanywhere.com

That will not work on PythonAnywhere. We do not support CGI for web apps.
