Requirements

• LaTeX distribution with pdflatex
• Required packages: beamer, graphicx, booktabs, listings, xcolor, amsmath
• Linux/Unix environment with bash

Compile Instructions

The file main.tex is the starting point. To compile the presentation:

Quick Start

sh run.sh

What the script does:

1. Creates an output/ directory for all compilation files
2. Runs pdflatex three times to resolve citations and cross-references
3. Processes bibliography with bibtex
4. Generates the final PDF in output/main.pdf

Manual Compilation

If you prefer manual control:

mkdir -p output
pdflatex -output-directory=output main.tex
bibtex output/main
pdflatex -output-directory=output main.tex
pdflatex -output-directory=output main.tex

Output

After successful compilation, you'll find:

• output/main.pdf - The final presentation
• output/main.log - Compilation log (useful for debugging)
• Other auxiliary files in the output/ directory

The file example.pdf shows a typical output of the template.

Customization

1. Content: Edit main.tex to add your slides and content
2. Bibliography: Add references to references.bib
3. Theme Colors: Modify beamerthemeUTN-BHI.sty to change colors or styling
4. Language: Uncomment \usepackage[spanish]{babel} for Spanish support

Features Included

• Section slides: Automatic section dividers
• Code highlighting: Enhanced syntax highlighting for multiple languages
• Professional tables: Using booktabs package
• Mathematical expressions: Full amsmath support
• Figure handling: Optimized for PNG/JPG images
• Clean typography: Modern font encoding and microtype

Troubleshooting

• If compilation fails, check output/main.log for errors
• Ensure all required LaTeX packages are installed
• Verify that image files exist in the theme/ directory
• The script uses non-interactive mode to prevent hanging on errors
