Installing RevealJS

  1. Navigate to the directory where you have cloned the RevealJS repository:
cd reveal.js
  1. Install the dependencies:

This command will start a local server on port 8000. You can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000.

Creating a Presentation

To create a presentation using RevealJS, create a new HTML file and include the RevealJS dependencies and stylesheets. For example:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>My RevealJS Presentation</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="reveal.js/dist/reset.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="reveal.js/dist/reveal.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="reveal.js/dist/theme/black.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="reveal">
        <div class="slides">
            <section>
                <h2>Slide 1</h2>
                <p>Hello World!</p>
            </section>
            <section>
                <h2>Slide 2</h2>
                <p>Goodbye World!</p>
            </section>
        </div>
    </div>
    <script src="reveal.js/dist/reveal.js"></script>
    <script>
        // Initialize RevealJS
        Reveal.initialize();
    </script>
</body>
</html>

This example includes the RevealJS dependencies and stylesheets, as well as two slides with some sample text.
