Setup for Building Lecture Slides Locally

To build these lecture slides locally on your machine you’ll need an up-to-date version of LaTeX such as texlive or MikTex.

You may need to “install” FAU’s custom beamer theme. To do so, simply copy or create a shortcut (symlink) to <KDD location>/lecture/themefau in the corresponding place depending on your operating system. For a standard installation on Linux or Mac OS this place is one of the following:

• Linux: ~/texmf/tex/latex/local/
• Mac OS X: //Users/<user name>/Library/texmf/tex/latex/local/

For a MikTex installation under Windows, it is recommended to first create a new TEXMF root directory in the MikTex Console under Settings -> Directories. The recommended path is usually C:\Users\[Username]\mytexmf (Purpose: Generic - Attribute: User). The shortcut (symlink) to the theme must then be added under the specified path in the subfolder \tex\latex.

For more information see this entry.

Setup for Commiting

We use the framework pre-commit to manage our pre-commit hooks. This simplifies the maintenance of the hooks - especially on heterogeneous systems - but requires an initial installation process of the individual users.

First, the framework itself must be installed. This process is explained on the framework’s website under “Installation”.

The second thing that needs to be done is to install the pre-commit hooks themselves. This can be achieved by running the command pre-commit install in the root directory of this project.

We assume that each commit has been validated with these pre-commit hooks and will not accept pull requests that contain unvalidated commits (the pre-commit hooks are also checked again on the server side by a GitHub action).

(Current) other prerequisites:

• The latex package https://ctan.org/pkg/latexindent
• Nodejs and npm

Note for Windows users: One of the hooks uses latexindent.pl. This is usually not installed correctly by MikTex and other package managers. Instead, download the ZIP archive of the latest release and copy the latexindent.exe and the defaultSettings.yaml into a directory that you then specify in the Windows $PATH environment variable.
