Bestowed is some simple Javascript and CSS code for creating presentations out of org-mode files. Org-mode is an outlining mode inside of emacs.
If you look in the example directory, you will find an example.org file. Open this file in emacs 24, and type C+c C+e then type h h. The output of this process is example.html in the same folder as the org file. Open example.html in your favourite browser.
In an org-mode file, at the top of the file type: C+c C+e # then type html. Change the following values:
...
#+OPTIONS: html-preamble:t html-scripts:nil html-style:nil
...
#+HTML_DOCTYPE: <!doctype html>
...
And add the following:
#+HTML_HEAD: <meta name="bestowed-theme" value="themes/default"><script async src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.robrohan.com/bestowed/bestowed.min.js"></script>
Then export the org file as html by doing: C+c C+e then type h h. Open the exported html in your favourite browser (as long as your favourite is the latest Chrome or Safari).
If you prefer, here is a YouTube video about how Bestowed works.

Themes do not have to live within the code base, but if they do you can reference them with a relative path.

You will need node and make installed. Node can be installed from the node website or by using your favourite package manager. Once node is installed, npm (node package manager) should also be installed. You should then be able to run the following commands:
$ npm install
$ make
The output should be in the build directory.
$ make test
