## 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
|
|
|
|
Installing Metropolis, 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.
|
|
|
|
4. **Use the theme for your presentation** by declaring `\usetheme{m}` in
|
|
the preamble of your Beamer document.
|
|
|
|
|
|
