Compiling LaTeX Materials

Before compiling any of the LaTeX materials, download and install Tectonic.

Then:

• make all: Compiles all the slides, project sheets, problem sets and the syllabus.
• make slides: Compiles all the slides.
• make project: Compiles all the project sheets.
• make problem-set: Compiles all the problem sets.
• make quiz: Compiles all the self-assessment quizzes.
• make syllabus: Compiles the syllabus.
• make clean: Deletes all compiled PDF output.

You can also do stuff like this:

• make slides-2-4: Compiles only Slides 2.4.
• make project-proverif-model: Compiles only the ProVerif modeling project sheet.
• make problem-set-4: Compiles only Problem Set 4.
• make quiz-1-8: Compiles only the self-assessment quiz for topic 1.8.

You get the drift.

All compiled output PDFs will be in their respective directory in the objects folder:

• objects/project contains the compiled project sheet PDFs.
• objects/problem-set contains the compiled problem set PDFs.
• objects/quiz contains the compiled self-assessment quiz PDFs.
