How to Install RevealJS on macOS

RevealJS is a powerful tool for creating and sharing presentations in HTML format. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install RevealJS on a macOS system.

Prerequisites

Before beginning the installation process, make sure that you have the following software installed on your macOS system:

• Node.js (version 10 or higher)
• Git

Steps

1. Open Terminal on your macOS system.
2. Install RevealJS's Command Line Interface (CLI) by running the following command:

npm install -g reveal-md

3. Verify that RevealJS has been installed correctly by running the following command:

reveal-md --version

This should return the installed version of RevealJS, if it has been installed correctly.

4. Create a new directory for your presentation and navigate to it, using the following commands:

mkdir my-presentation
cd my-presentation

5. Initialize a new Git repository in the newly created directory by running the following command:

git init

6. Create a new Markdown file, which will contain the content of your presentation, using the following command:

vi presentation.md

This will open the "vi" editor. Press "i" to begin inserting text, and type your presentation content in Markdown format. When you are done, press "Esc" to exit the insert mode, and then type ":wq" and press "Enter" to save and exit the editor.

7. Launch RevealJS by running the following command:

reveal-md presentation.md

This will open your presentation in the default browser. You can now edit the Markdown file created earlier to change the content of your presentation.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed RevealJS on your macOS system and created your first presentation.
