Versioning

sticky_minutes.cls dependencies:

sticky_typography
xspace
fancyhdr

Installation

Make sure you have the dependencies installed. After that there are two ways of installing these styles:

Put the .cls files in the same directory as your .tex file, you're done. Easy for simple, one-off documents.
Install these classes in your TEXFHOME. This is more involved, but after you have done this, you never have to copy the style files again.

`TEXFHOME` installation

Run the following command to find your TEXFHOME. This should work both on Windows and UNIX-y systems.

kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFHOME

This will probably show a value like C:/Users/<user>/texmf or ~/texmf. Place the files you want in TEXMFHOME/tex/latex/commonstuff. Create the directory if you must.

For example, if your TEXMFHOME is C:/Users/duijf/texmf, you should place the .cls files in C:/Users/duijf/texmf/tex/latex/commonstuff. After that, they should get picked up. You can verify the installation with the kpsewhich command. For example:

kpsewhich sticky_minutes.cls

A scripts exists to perform this installation automatically, see install.sh.
