== Building Slides and Presenting == The templates assume that you'll be presenting with [https://github.com/pdfpc/pdfpc PDF Presenter Console] which is a pretty full featured presenter console written specifically with Beamer in mind. If you run into any trouble, please [https://github.com/pdfpc/pdfpc download and install the latest version of PDFPC from Github] as the note functionality we use is not in some released version of Debian and Ubuntu who have lagged behind development and been slow to pull in new patches fixing bugs and adding functionality. To tell if your version of PDFPC will work, you can run <code>pdfpc --help</code> and look to see if it has an option for <code>-n/--notes</code>. If it has this option, you are likely good to go. You can also run <code> pdfpc -v</code> to see which version is installed. Version 4.0 (and perhaps earlier) has support for notes, so if the version is >= 4.0, then it should work. There are three basic ways to build slides that are supported by the makefile in the repository: * <code>make pdf</code> β Create a double-wide slide that is appropriate for displaying with PDFPC's "notes" feature. Effectively, the left part will be the slide displayed on the projector and the right part will be the notes displayed on your laptop screen. This will require a new version of PDFPC. * <code>make notesonly</code> β Generate only the notes (e.g., for printing out speaker notes) * <code>make slides</code> β Generate only the PDF slides which will be appropriate for presenting with a PDF viewer other than PDFPC. If you want to switch between building notes, slides, or notes only, you will need to run <code>make clean</code> to "reset" your repository. When you are ready to present, run the following command from a terminal on the monitor that you want to be the secondary or laptop monitor. The slides should presented on the other monitor: make pdfpc This will run a command like this (which you could also do directly): pdfpc --notes=right presentation.pdf This show the notes on the monitor to the right (usually the second monitor on most setups). You can obviously switch this to left, top, or bottom as per your arrangement of displays.
