About

Fithesis4 is a document class for the typesetting of theses at the Masaryk University (Brno, Czech Republic). The class has been designed for easy extensibility by style and locale files of other academic institutions.

Requirements

To install the package, you are going to need a POSIX.2-compliant environment as well as the following tools:

• GNU make
• epstopdf

Aside from these tools, the installation requires a correctly configured TeX distribution containing the pdfTeX, XeTeX and LuaTeX engines as well as the LaTeX packages required for the typesetting of the technical documentation within the fithesis.dtx.

For running the test suite using the make tests command, the following tools are also required:

• faketime
• comparepdf
• pdftk

Installation

To install the package, execute the following command from within the current directory:

make base
make install-base to=[[TDS]] nohash=true

where [[TDS]] is a path in the TeX directory structure to which you are going to install the package (such as /usr/share/texmf).

After successfully running the commands, update the file name database of your TeX distribution, if necessary:

• In MiKTeX:
  • Using the GUI: In the Start Menu go to the MiKTeX entry and open either the settings or the admin settings depending on whether you are installing the package into a single-user private directory tree or into a shared directory tree on a multi-user system, respectively. The "MiKTeX Options" window will open. Switch to the "General" tab and click the "Refresh FNDB" button.
  • Using the command prompt: Execute either initexmf -u or initexmf -u --admin depending on whether you are installing the package into a single-user private directory tree or into a shared shared directory tree on a multi-user system.
• In TeX Live and MacTeX:
  • Execute texhash with superuser privileges (sudo texhash).

You may now also wish to typeset and install the user and technical documentation of the package. You can do that by running:

make docs
make install-docs to=[[TDS]] nohash=true

where [[TDS]] is again a path in the TeX directory structure to which you are going to install the documentation and will likely be the same as before.

After successfully running the commands, update the file name database of your TeX distribution, if necessary.

Uninstallation

To uninstall the package, execute the following command from within the current directory:

make uninstall from=[[TDS]]

where [[TDS]] is a path in the TeX directory structure to which you are going to install the package (such as /usr/share/texmf).

After successfully running the commands, update the file name database of your TeX distribution, if necessary:

• In MiKTeX:
  • Using the GUI: In the Start Menu go to the MiKTeX entry and open either the settings or the admin settings depending on whether you are installing the package into a single-user private directory tree or into a shared directory tree on a multi-user system, respectively. The "MiKTeX Options" window will open. Switch to the "General" tab and click the "Refresh FNDB" button.
  • Using the command prompt: Execute either initexmf -u or initexmf -u --admin depending on whether you are installing the package into a single-user private directory tree or into a shared shared directory tree on a multi-user system.
• In TeX Live and MacTeX:
  • Execute texhash with superuser privileges (sudo texhash).
