This class, as well as the default logos are already installed on the UNIX systems in the department. If you will be running LaTeX on a system other the department's, you will need to download and install these files in order to use this class.

Downloading

There are three files included with this class. One is the actual LaTeX class file, and the other two are color and black and white versions of the University's logo. The files can either be downloaded separately or in one zip file.

Zip file containg all necessary files:

urislides.zip

Individual files contained in zip file:

		urislides Class File (urislides.cls)
		Black and White Logo (urilogo.eps)
		Color Logo (urilogoblue.eps)

Installing

The easiest way to use the files is to just put them in the directory where the presentation is, and they can be used from there. The drawback to this method is that you will need to copy them to every presentation that is created.

The other option is to install them into your local texmf tree. This will guarantee they are available for every user and every presentation, but requires a little extra effort. Detailed instructions are available from the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network, but briefly, the necessary steps are:

1. Put the files somewhere in the texmf tree, probably the directory TEXMF/tex/latex/urislides, where TEXMF is the full path of the texmf root directory. For teTeX (common on Linux), TEXMF is usually /usr/share/texmf, and on mikTeX (common on MS Windows), it is usually c:\localtexmf.
2. Run the command mktexlsr, which will allow TeX to find them.

Depending on which distribution of TeX you are using, these instructions may vary, but they should work for teTeX (common on Linux/UNIX), and mikTeX (common on MS Windows).
