## Metropolis
2015-11-20 09:31:58 +01:00
**NOTICE: The package name changed from *m* to *metropolis* !**
Metropolis is a simple, modern Beamer theme suitable for anyone to use. It tries
to minimize noise and maximize space for content; the only visual flourish it
offers is an (optional) progress bar added to each slide. The core design
principles of the theme were described in a blog post
[here ](http://bloerg.net/2014/09/20/a-modern-beamer-theme.html ).

## Installation
2015-12-05 13:59:15 +01:00
Installing Metropolis from source, like any Beamer theme, involves four easy
steps:
2015-09-22 09:39:02 +02:00
1. **Download the source** with a `git clone` of the [Metropolis repository ](https://github.com/matze/mtheme ) or as a [zip archive ](https://github.com/matze/mtheme/archive/master.zip ) of the latest development version.
2. **Compile the style files** by running `make sty` inside the downloaded
directory. (Or run LaTeX directly on `source/metropolistheme.ins` .)

3. **Move the resulting `*.sty` files** to the folder containing your
presentation. To use Metropolis with many presentations, run `make install`
or move the `*.sty` files to a folder in your TeX path instead (might require
`sudo` rights).

4. **Use the theme for your presentation** by declaring `\usetheme{metropolis}` in
2015-09-22 09:39:02 +02:00
the preamble of your Beamer document.
