See it in action

Installation

• optional - create a virtual environment (virtualenv venv)
• pip install -r requirements.txt

Writing your own presentations

Refer to already existing presentations in the markdown folder, the syntax is simple AF.

Building presentations

The simple, but tedious way

• Create a a file with your presentation in the markdown folder
• python prometheus.py -i markdown/your_presentation_here.md

It only builds the presentation once, you have to rerun the command each time you change the .md file

The better way (with autoreload), but requires the entr utility

• Same as before, create a file with your presentation in the markdown
• ./live_compile.sh markdown/your_presentation_here.md

The script will watch for the changes in your file and reload the presentation each time you save the file. ctrl-c to stop.
