+# Getting Started
+
+This is a simple template to produce a scientific poster with emacs and
+org-mode.

+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 9.1.7 .
