## Metropolis
**IMPORTANT NOTICES FOR VERSION 1.0**
* The package and theme name changed from *m* to *metropolis*!
* The `title format` values have been restructured. Please refer to the
[manual][].
---
Metropolis is a simple, modern Beamer theme suitable for anyone to use. It tries
to minimize noise and maximize space for content; the only visual flourish it
offers is an (optional) progress bar added to each slide. The core design
principles of the theme were described in a blog post
[here](http://bloerg.net/2014/09/20/a-modern-beamer-theme.html).
Not convinced? Have a look at the [demo slides][].
## Installation
To install a stable version of this theme, please refer to update instructions
of your TeX distribution. Metropolis is on [CTAN][] since December
2014 thus it is part of MikTeX and will be part of TeX Live 2016.
Installing Metropolis from source, like any Beamer theme, involves four easy
steps:
1. **Download the source** with a `git clone` of the [Metropolis repository](https://github.com/matze/mtheme)
or as a [zip archive](https://github.com/matze/mtheme/archive/master.zip) of
the latest development version.
2. **Compile the style files** by running `make sty` inside the downloaded
directory. (Or run LaTeX directly on `source/metropolistheme.ins`.)
3. **Move the resulting `*.sty` files** to the folder containing your
presentation. To use Metropolis with many presentations, run `make install`
or move the `*.sty` files to a folder in your TeX path instead (might require
`sudo` rights).
4. **Use the theme for your presentation** by declaring `\usetheme{metropolis}` in
the preamble of your Beamer document.
5. **For best results** install Mozilla's [Fira Sans](https://github.com/bBoxType/FiraSans).
## Usage
The following code shows a minimal example of a Beamer presentation using
Metropolis.
```latex
\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{metropolis} % Use metropolis theme
\title{A minimal example}
\date{\today}
\author{Matthias Vogelgesang}
\institute{Centre for Modern Beamer Themes}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\section{First Section}
\begin{frame}{First Frame}
Hello, world!
\end{frame}
\end{document}
```
Detailed information on using Metropolis can be found in the [manual][].
For an alternative dark color theme, please have a look at Ross Churchley's
excellent [owl](https://github.com/rchurchley/beamercolortheme-owl) theme.
