• LaTeX
  • Windows: MiKTeX is recommended

Scripts for building the web and pdf versions of the book are in scripts/ directory: createWebBook.py and createPDFBook.py. You must run them from the scripts/ directory, so either double-click the script or run it from command line.

• When building the web book, the website is stored in the output/webBook directory. Opening up output/webBook/toc.html will open up the table of contents.
• When building the pdf book, the pdf is created at output/ofBook.pdf. output/ofBook.tex is also created, for debugging purposes.

2. install beauitful soup 4 (bs4) pip install beautifulsoup4
3. install pandoc

5. install libsass sudo pip install libsass

1. Download and install Python 2.7+
2. Download and install beauitful soup 4 (bs4)

• Method 1:
  1. Get the python package manager, pip. This involves downloading get-pip.py and running it from command line.
  2. Run pip install beautifulsoup4 from the command line to install BeautifulSoup
• Alternate installation methods for bs4

3. Download and install pandoc using the latest windows installer (.msi) from here
