In this tutorial, we will be installing reveal.js on POP! OS, a popular Linux distribution.
Before we begin, please ensure that you have the following components:
Go to the official website of reveal.js, which is revealjs.com/">https://revealjs.com/. Then, navigate to the "Download" section of the website.
Download the latest version of reveal.js. Once you have downloaded it, extract the zip file to obtain the reveal.js folder.
Create a new directory where you want to save your reveal.js presentation.
$ mkdir my-presentation
$ cd my-presentation
Copy the reveal.js files to the new directory that you created in the previous step.
$ cp -r path/to/reveal.js/* .
Make sure that all of the files from reveal.js are present in the new directory.
To create a new presentation, we need to create an index.html file.
$ nano index.html
Add the following code to the index.html file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>My Presentation</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/reveal.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="reveal">
<div class="slides">
<section>Slide 1</section>
<section>Slide 2</section>
<section>Slide 3</section>
</div>
</div>
<script src="js/reveal.js"></script>
<script>
Reveal.initialize();
</script>
</body>
</html>
reveal.js requires Node.js and npm to be installed on your system. If you already have them installed, you can skip this step.
$ sudo apt-get install nodejs
$ sudo apt-get install npm
We need to install Grunt to use reveal.js.
$ npm install -g grunt-cli
Install reveal.js dependencies using the following command:
$ npm install
To serve the presentation, run the following command:
$ grunt serve
Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:8000. Your presentation should be visible.
In this tutorial, we have seen how to install reveal.js on POP! OS, create a new index.html file, and launch a new presentation. You can now use reveal.js to create amazing presentations on your Linux system.
