Installation
You can use it by installing portable version or by installing the template.
For portable version, simply download lastest ElegantBook-master from Github or CTAN (to be more accurate, download elegantbook.cls) and save the file(s) under your working directory. This way of installation is simple and convenient, but you have to manually update cls now and then.
If you are a TeX Live 2019 user, using the tlshell of TeX Live 2019 direct installation package is strongly recommended. Simply search and open tlshell, click on File -> Load Default Repository or customize repository by Options. Wait till the repository loads successfully, search elegantbook by name, installation and update is just a click away.
If you are a TeX Live 2018 user and would like to update to TeX Live 2019, the official solution is to uninstall 2018. If you want to save the bother of uninstallation and installation, please copy elegantbook.cls to the installation directory of TeX Live 2018 (default: C:\texlive\2018\texmf-dist\tex\latex\elegantbook ), run texhash in cmd.
Excuse me? You are a CTeX user? Sorry, this template is incompatible with CTeX.
For more details about the installation and usage of TeX Live 2019, the compatibility of CTeX and TeX Live, installation directory, etc., please refer to the Official Guide or XiaoXing's A brief introduction of installing LaTeX.
Considering the online usage of the templates, all the templates are available on Overleaf.
Those who enjoy smooth network may feel free to use the templates without TEX Live and to visit
your documents anywhere anytime. Search elegantlatex on Overleaf or visit search result,
choose the one you prefer and save it to your account, then you can edit yourself or corporat with others if you like. For more information about Overleaf, please refer to Overleaf OG.
