Installation
============

You need make and g++ to install sinad.

To install sinad just run:
  make && sudo make install

If you want to install it to a different location edit the value of INSTALL_DIR (or BIN_DIR and DATA_DIR) in Makefile.

If you find problems compiling with an old gcc version try changing the "-std=c++14" part of CXXFLAGS in Makefilo to "-std=c++1y"


Quicksart
=========

1. Create a new folder named "example" for a new presentation:
     sinad --init example
2. Modify example/content.txt with your preferred text editor:
     cd example
     sinad --edit
3. Run sinad in build mode from inside that new folder:
     cd example
     sinad --build
4. Open the result (html/slide0000.html, or html/index.html) with your preferred browser:
     sinad --show


More
====

There is a demo presentation that includes help, content format's documentation, examples,
describes basic command line usage, and more, in "docs/html/index.html".

There is a more complete manual that covers details for the command line arguments and
for the content's format in manual/html/index.html
