Husky User Manual

NOTE: These tutorials have been superceded. Find the latest Husky user manual at docs.clearpathrobotics.com.

This repository contains the LaTeX source code for building the end user product documentation for Husky. If you are an end user, please download the official and released version of the manual from the Clearpath Robotics Resources Page.

Build

To build Husky's user manual:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/husky/husky-user-manual.git
cd husky-user-manual
xelatex husky.tex

The output is written to husky.pdf. The xelatex command must be invoked twice to generate the complete manual including table of contents and correct watermarks.

Setting it up

The manual may be built on any platform supported by TeXWorks or TeXLive.

On a Mac, download and install MacTex Basic.

On Ubuntu, run:

sudo apt-get install texlive-xetex

Install some additional texlive packages:

sudo tlmgr install everypage background titlesec microtype upquote \
                   enumitem tcolorbox environ trimspaces siunitx

On Fedora/RHEL/CentOS, run: sudo yum install texlive-xetex texlive-everypage texlive-background texlive-titlesec texlive-microtype texlive-upquote texlive-enumitem texlive-tcolorbox texlive-environ texlive-trimspaces texlive-siunitx

On Windows:

• Install TeXworks.

Typefaces
