Requirements

Ensure that you have an up-to-date LaTeX distribution installed on your system.

Ubuntu/Debian

$ sudo apt install texlive-full

Fedora/CentOS/RHEL

$ sudo dnf install texlive-scheme-full

TeX Live (any system)

If you don't have sudo access you can install TeX Live locally. Visit the TeX Live quick install page for instructions.

Building the slides

In order to build your slides you can build locally or use the GitHub/GitLab CI.

Local build

Local builds use your favorite LaTeX IDE, like TeXstudio, Texmaker or even Overleaf. Please ensure that you compile it with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX instead of the (usual default) pdfLaTeX.

You can opt to use the provided Makefile and simply typing the following in your terminal:

$ make

which uses the latexmk tool under the hood. We highly recommend latexmk when compiling on the command line since it handles the bibliography, e.g. using bib(la)tex + biber automatically.

To build the poster, use the following command:

$ make poster

To get rid of all the temporary files created during the compilation, use

$ make clean

To also remove final slides PDF use

$ make allclean

Alternatively, you can use the latexmk tool directly to compile your slides (either in the terminal or by setting it as the compiler in your IDE). A working .latexmkrc is included.

$ latexmk slides.tex

To get rid of all temporary files created during compilation use the -c flag (-C to also remove the final slides PDF):

$ latexmk -c

Note: At the time of writing, the contents of this repo can be readily used on overleaf.

Build using the GitHub/GitLab CI

The latest versions of the PDFs can be created by simply adding a tag:

$ git tag v0.2.0
$ git push origin --tags

After a couple of minutes (~3 min) the new PDFs will appear on the releases page.

Example PDF files

A new release (including the latest versions of the PDFs) can be created by simply adding a tag:

$ git tag v0.2.0
$ git push origin --tags
