+# Version v0.1
+The aim of this UGent Beamer theme:
+    - A theme that closely resembles the official UGent Powerpoint/Keynote presentation themes.
+    - Similar theme options as the depreciated UGent Beamer theme.
+    - Ease-of-use for the average Beamer user.
+
+Requires the packages [sfmath](https://ctan.org/pkg/sfmath),
+[helvet](https://ctan.org/pkg/helvet) and [PGF/TikZ](https://ctan.org/pkg/pgf)
+to be installed in your LaTeX distribution.
+
+Demo
+----
+A full example is available. Refer to `example.tex` and `example.pdf`.

+
+Download
+========
+Download the latest release by following [this](https://github.com/driesbenoit/ugent-beamer/releases) link.
+
+Installation
+============
+The theme is an addendum for the LaTeX beamer class, hence it is assumed that you have a running LaTeX installation together with the beamer package and its dependencies.
+
+Once you have the files, all that is required for the theme to work is putting the files into a directory where LaTeX can find them. This boils down to mimicking the so called TDS (or TeX Directory Structure).
+
+Ad-hoc installation 
+-------------------
+After downloading, copy the files named beamer*ugent.sty, together with all *.png files from the image folder, into the same folder as your LaTeX source file.
+
+Then include the theme by writing:
+```latex
+\documentclass{beamer}
+
+\usetheme{focus}
+```
+in the preamble of your document.
+
+Installation
+------------
+In case you're using your favorite flavor of Unix (and/or TeX Live) you need to have a local directory (this will probably be ~/texmf/) and you need to place all the files from the theme folder in the directory ~/texmf/tex/latex/beamer/themes/ugent/, finishing it by running texhash.
+
+If on the other hand you're on Windows (probably MiK\TeX) the walkthrough at [this url](http://docs.miktex.org/manual/localadditions.html) explains thoroughly and with many pictures how to create a local installation. Don't forget to Refresh FNDB as explained [here](http://docs.miktex.org/manual/configuring.html#fndbupdate).
