  2. Clone your new repository with git.
  3. Run make to check that everything works. The resulting thesis file should be in thesis.pdf
  4. Fill in the blanks in metadata.tex.
  5. Read through the example code, then erase it.
  6. Write your thesis.
  7. Remove the todos.tex file.
  8. Submit and defend the thesis!

Installing LaTeX

Be sure to install a LaTeX toolchain with lualatex support.

  • On a unix-style system, use TeXLive, your package manager has something like texlive-full or texlive-scheme-full.
  • On Windows, use MiKTeX.

Editor support

If you want to have a Overleaf-like experience locally, we recommend using VSCode with the james-yu.latex-workshop package.
