So for the time being you should clone it to wherever you'd like to run from.\n\n## Requirements\n\n`papervis` has the following dependencies:\n\n- Git\n- LaTeX\n- pdfnup # provided by LaTeX\n- latexmk # provided by LaTeX\n- awk\n- convert\n- ffmpeg\n\nand additionally requires that the Git repo you want to visualize has a `Makefile` with the following variables set in it:\n- `LATEX`\n- `FILENAME`\n\nExample:\n```\nFILENAME = analysis_paper\nLATEX = lualatex\n```\n\n## Use\n\nYou can query `papervis` for its options\n\n```\nbash papervis.sh --help\nUSAGE:\n    papervis [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]\n\nFLAGS:\n    -h, --help              Print help information and quit\n\nOPTIONS:\n        --url \u003curl\u003e         URL of the project Git repo (HTTPS, SSH, or local path)\n        --start \u003cstart\u003e     Git commit hash to start at.\n                            If left blank it will default to the first commit\n                            in the project repo\n        --grid \u003cgrid\u003e       The dimensions of the grid. Ex: 9x6\n        --name \u003cname\u003e       The name of the output .mp4 file. Default is papervis\n        --target \u003ctarget\u003e   The name of an optional Makefile target to run as\n                            part of the build\n\n```\n\nOnce you run `papervis` check in the `build` directory for the output `.mp4` file.\n\n## Example\n\n```\nbash papervis.sh \\\n    --url https://github.com/matthewfeickert/Dedman-Thesis-Latex-Template.git \\\n    --start 2d8d5ca13127584578cdb9806fef98dbaab60a16 \\\n    --grid 9x6 \\\n    --target figures\n```\n\n```\nfind build -iname \"*.mp4\"\n# build/papervis.mp4\n```\n\n## Authors\n\n- [Matthew Feickert](http://www.matthewfeickert.com/) ([@matthewfeickert](https://github.com/matthewfeickert))\n- [Leo C.
