Office, LyX and LaTeX Templates
I4TRL maintains a set of templates for preparing internal Technical Reports and Presentations. This page contains instructions
on obtaining those templates
Template Maintenance
All templates are looked after by Dr Jason But and archived on the I4TRL
Kallithea/Mercurial repository. If there are any issues with the templates, or they need to be updated, please contact
Jason.
Obtaining Templates
The template installation files are available either via a direct pull from the Kallithea repository. In order to pull from
the repository, you will need a current account on Kallithea. To obtain this account see the Kallithea FAQ.
Kallithea is also set up to allow public access to the templates via a direct zip download. The relevant links are provided below.
Installing the Templates
When uncompressed, you will have a folder with a number of files and sub-folders:
| README-* |
Detailed installation and usage instructions. Please read all relevant files, noting that the automated installation script
does not work for Windows installations |
| OfficeTemplates |
Microsoft Office and/or OpenOffice template files |
| installer |
LaTeX/LyX files and an installer script for *NIX deployments |
| Samples |
If present, contains sample documents |
To install the *NIX files, change to the installer directory and execute:
The script can either be run as a regular user or as root. In either case, the installer script will
check you have all the necessary pre-requisites before continuing. The differences are:
| ./install -u |
Install as a user. LaTeX files will be installed in your home directory. LyX templates must be installed
centrally as root. You will be asked for your rootpassword to complete this task |
| ./install -r |
Install as root. Installation will fail if you are not the root user. LaTeX and Lyx template files
will be installed in central directories |
