Installing custom style(s)

1. Run these following in terminal:

   git clone https://github.com/ckunte/templates.git ~/templates
   mkdir -p ~/texmf && cp ~/templates/texmf/* ~/texmf/.
   sudo texhash ~/texmf

2. Add the following to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc, and then reload the file by running . ~/.bashrc, for example, in terminal:

   if [ -d ~/texmf ] ; then
       export TEXMFHOME=::~/texmf
       export TEXINPUTS=::~/texmf
   fi

3. Test to check if texmf folder is mapped correctly to TEXMFHOME by running kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFHOME. This would be $HOME/texmf in macOS, Linux, Cygwin (on Windows), etc.
