That worked great, thanks! I used elm-github-install to install the bsouthga/elm-katex package directly from GitHub. I didn't have to rename my own local project. I only need to fork bsouthga's project if I want to update it to use a newer version of KaTeX.
I didn't want to install gems in my global system dir as root, so I installed rvm and the latest version of Ruby. Then I did gem install elm_install. Unlike elm-package where you can specify a package name and it will automatically update your elm-package.json, I had to manually add an entry each to dependencies and dependency-sources, then run elm-install. Then I was able to build my project with no problem, and everything worked.
