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
|
|
|
|
To install a stable version of this theme, please refer to update instructions
|
|
of your TeX distribution. Metropolis is on [CTAN][] since December
|
|
2014 thus it is part of MikTeX and will be part of TeX Live 2016.
|
|
|
|
Installing Metropolis from source, like any Beamer theme, involves four easy
|
|
steps:
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
the preamble of your Beamer document.
|
|
5. **For best results** install Mozilla's [Fira Sans](https://github.com/bBoxType/FiraSans).
