How to install?

• Install LaTeX locally (e.g. basicTex. Missing packages can be installed afterwards using tlmgr).

• I use the latex ugent2016 template created by Niko Strijbol. Installation of this template is as easy as going to this repo. Downloading the latest release zip (at the time of writing this is 0.10). When unzipping this zip there will be a tds zip available with the name ugent2016.tds.zip. To install everything you need to unzip this tds zip at the right place. Right now this is at /usr/local/texlive/2023basic/texmf-dist for me. But this directory should contain a source, tex and doc folder among other folders. The tex folder should have a subfolder called latex. After unzipping the only thing that needs to happen is re-indexing. This can be done by executing texhash.

Generating the PDF

Just run make in the thesis directory.
The makefile uses latexmk to compile the pdf, this can be installed with using following command

tlmgr install latexmk

The resulting PDFs can be found back in the out directory.
