MIT - Beamer Presentation Template

LaTeX Beamer presentation template derived from Andreas Kloeckner's brown-beamer template:

http://mathema.tician.de/software/brown-beamer

Dependencies:

• latex-beamer class 3.0.7 (http://latex-beamer.sourceforge.net)
• texlive-latex 2008+ (http://www.tug.org/texlive/)
• automake (optional, used to run pdflatex commands)

Install:

Install is simply downloading the code from github. Here we install mit-beamer to $HOME/mit-beamer::

$ cd $HOME
$ git clone http://github.com/jtriley/mit-beamer.git

Generating the presentation:

1. Customize mit-beamer/slides.tex to your liking::

   $vim$HOME/mit-beamer/slides.tex

2. Then change to the mit-beamer directory and run make to generate a presentation PDF::

   $cd$HOME/mit-beamer $ make

3. You can then view the resulting pdf, named slides.pdf, in the 'out' directory::

   $xpdf$HOME/mit-beamer/out/slides.pdf

4. You can also use make to do this automatically with either xpdf, okular, or acroread::

   $make view-xpdf$ make view-okular $ make view-acroread

5. The above "make view-*" commands will automatically build $HOME/mit-beamer/out/slides.pdf if necessary
