+* Author
+Philipp Homan <phoman1 at northwell dot edu>
+* Getting Started
+This is a simple template to produce a scientific poster with emacs and
+org-mode.
+ 
+** Prerequisites
+This was developed and tested on a Linux Ubuntu 17.04 machine. To
+produce the poster from the command line, GNU emacs and texlive must
+be installed together with some additional emacs and texlive
+packages. Specifically, the following software and associated libraries
+are required:
+*** texlive
+**** xetex
+**** latexmk
+*** emacs
+**** org-mode
+**** ess
+**** org-ref
+
+*** R
+**** pacman
+**** cowplot
+**** ggplot2
+
+* Installing
+Download the repository and run tar xvfz on the tarball.
+
+* Producing the poster
+Change to the org-mode-poster directory and run 'make poster'.
+
+* Built With
+Org-mode src_elisp{org-version} {{{results(9.1.7)}}} .
