PhD Thesis Preparation

While preparing for thesis in UF latex format there were some issues, here I post the things that I went through:


- Install MacTex (~2.5 GB) - this is latex compiler
- Install TexMaker - this is a nice latex editor
- check: 

%\documentclass[12pt,final,CPage]{ufthesis} %Use this line for Windows OS

\documentclass[12pt,dvipdfmx,final,CPage]{ufthesis} %Use this line for Macintosh/Linux OS

 
 Comment
%\include{tex/TwoOrMoreAppendices} %Use this file if you have two or more appendices

Latex, Latex, Bibtex, Latex, Latex, XeLaTeX , QuickBuild

if that didn't work maybe check below, but that should do it.

- Install XeLaTeX (which is part of BasicTex) it is required for some of the packages that UF's template needs.
- Install sectsty.sty  On mac you can do it through Tex Live Utility, however the program fails to connect to its server. You can do so according to this.

• cd /tmp/ 
• curl 'https://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/release-texlive.txt?view=co' > release-texlive.txt
• cd /usr/local/texlive/2015
• sudo mv release-texlive.txt release-texlive.txt.backup
• sudo cp /tmp/release-texlive.txt .

Then in the packages tab search for sectsty.sty and click to install it.

Similarly install algorithmicx.sty, epsf.sty,
