Compilation

Usual compilation sequence (minted package require external Python Pygments script to be installed (check the docs))

# minted require -shell-escape to run  external script. 
# -8bit avoid ^^I for tabs in minted.
$ xelatex -shell-escape -8bit main
# If any change in the bibliography
$ bibtex8 main
# If any change with the abbreviation or acronym
$ makeglossaries main
#Then compile again
$ xelatex -shell-escape -8bit main
#And if still some citation or label warnings, compile once more
$ xelatex -shell-escape -8bit main

Using Overleaf

Create new project from Zip

  1. Same instructions as for ShareLaTeX (below); but to Overleaf
  2. Among others advantages: unlimited collaborators and git access with free account

Using git

  1. Fork this project (optional (advantage of fork is to synchronize your github and overleaf projects with your local clone))
  2. Clone your fork (or this github project) to your local computer
  3. Follow the instructions to create a new Overleaf project from existing git repo
  4. Once done, open your Overleaf project and from Settings menu change "LaTeX Engine" to XeLaTeX

Using ShareLaTeX

  1. Download this project as zip (or fork)
  2. Create an account on ShareLaTeX (if not already have one)
  3. Once logged in ShareLaTeX: Open Project section. Then New Project → Upload Project → select the zip (otherwise with the paid version you could sync with github (your fork))
  4. Once project opened: from the menu change "compiler" to XeLaTeX
