Clone and Compile

Prerequesites

To clone the repository you'd need git installed on your computer. You should probably use a POSIX system. Either Linux or Mac OS.

This project was not tested to compile successfully on Microsoft Windows.

On OSX, it was tested that MacPorts works well for installing tex related packages.

Tex Packages

1. git
2. make
3. texlive-extra-utils
4. texlive-lang-arabic
5. texlive-fonts-extra
6. texlive-xetex
7. texlive-science

Fonts

1. ttf-mscorefonts-installer (available with apt. Solves the font "Times New Roman" cannot be found issue, don't think it's needed on Mac)
2. You also need to install the fonts in this zip file

Linux

Extracting the zip's contents to ~/.local/share/fonts then running fc-cache -f -v should do the trick.

OSX

You need to:

1. Download and extract the zip
2. Open Font Book
3. Click on the + to add new fonts
4. Locate the extracted folder
5. Double click it to install all the fonts it contains

Cloning

Clone the repo from master (see GitHub repo)

Compiling

After having all the fonts installed, you can compile the project by typing make to a terminal inside the project's root directory.

It is possible you will need to remove the short \bash section from the file 00.tex.

Editing

The majority of the document was editted using gvim.

Personally, I recommend editing using kile. It handles the Hebrew/English switches well enough.
