Recommended: Overleaf

Instead of installing a local version of LaTeX (can be as big as 3GB), consider to just use Overleaf - like Google Docs for LaTeX. It's free as long as you have <= 60 files (just delete sample images you should be fine).

For Windows

1. Install MikTex and Install TexMaker
2. Open and edit thesis.tex file. Edit the \author, \title, \submissionyear, \submissionmonth, \degree, \major, \session accordingly.
3. Edit the rest of the files accordingly.
4. To include a new chapter, simply create a new .tex file and make sure you include the link to the file to thesis.tex by including the command \include{newchapter}

For Debian/Ubuntu

1. Install texlive-full with apt-get (approx 3GB) and [TexMaker] (http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/download.html#linux):

$ sudo apt-get install texlive-full
$ sudo apt-get install texmaker

For macOS

1. Install MacTex (approx 3GB) and TexMaker (31.2MB).

Compiling with Makefile

Provided you have CMake and pdflatex + bibtex commands properly installed. You can run make in the directory and it will generate thesis.pdf.

On Mac, it will open the PDF upon completion. Sublime Text users can just build it inside the editor (cmd + b for mac).

$ cd path/to/your-tex-project
$ make
