Manual Build

Currently the manual build instructions are for Ubuntu 16.04 or higher but may successfully build on other distributions. Pull requests to update the whitepaper will be gladly accepted and reviewed.

Install Packages

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install -y texlive-xetex pandoc python3-pip graphviz imagemagick
pip3 install matplotlib

Compile Images

There are several image files in the /img/ directory that are generated using the build file. The first time the build is done, and whenever the figures are updated, the images will need to be compiled.

./build.sh

Build PDF

Compile using pandoc

cd ~/smt-whitepaper/smt-manual/
pandoc manual.md --latex-engine=xelatex -o smt-whitepaper.pdf

After building, the pdf file will be output to smt-whitepaper.pdf.
