-The following packages need to be installed:
+**Build Requirements**
-- package tex-live distribution
-- package tex-live fonts
-- package pdflatex
+You will need some minimal Texlive distrubution (The full texlive distribution is nearly 2GB large but you will need only a part of it). A good starting point is here: https://www.latex-project.org/get/#tex-distributions
-There is also a `texlive.profile` file in the project root, that can be used to install the minimum required texlive packages.
+If you want to install texlive from tug.org instead, you can use this guide: https://tug.org/texlive/
-##### Build Procedure
+Users of various Linux distrubutions can also install texlive from their repositories.

- - For each template is in a folder, which contains a `main.tex` file do
- - Edit the main.tex according to your credentials, optionally change settings and colors etc.
- - Run `pdflatex` (build/compile)
+This repo also contains a `texlive.profile` file in the project root, that can be used to install the minimum required texlive packages when manually installing texlive.
+
+
+**Build Procedure**
