How to Use this Style

This still needs to be documented. However, we'll probably provide an example repository showing how to use the various features of this style file. Stay tuned.

Installing the LateX Environment

In order to build a PDF from LaTeX source files. You'll first need to install LaTeX and some other LaTeX packages to get this style file to work.

We provide a script (developers/texlive_install.sh) which downloads and installs texlive, as well as all the packages required for this style. Simply clone this repository and run that script and you should have LaTeX ready to go in just a few minutes:

git clone https://github.com/BioplatformsAustralia/LaTeX-style.git
cd LaTeX-style/developers
sudo ./texlive_install.sh

By default, the above script will download LaTeX packages from the default CTAN mirror. You will benefit from faster downloads and a quicker install if you use a mirror closer to where you are. To change the mirror, simply set the environmental variable CTAN_MIRROR_URL to point to your favourite CTAN mirror (http://ctan.org/mirrors):

export CTAN_MIRROR_URL='http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/CTAN'
git clone https://github.com/BioplatformsAustralia/LaTeX-style.git
cd LaTeX-style/developers
sudo -E ./texlive_install.sh
