UCB - 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 ucb-beamer to $HOME/ucb-beamer:

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

Generating the presentation:

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

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

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

   $ cd $HOME/ucb-beamer
   $ make
   

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

   $ xpdf $HOME/ucb-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/ucb-beamer/out/slides.pdf if necessary
