Writing M. Tech Dissertations in LaTeX

1. If you are already a LaTeX user and have a directory with LaTeX style files, save the downloaded file in that directory.
   Otherwise, create a new directory (in this example, we will call it texstylefiles) and save the downloaded file in that directory.
2. Unpack the tar file by typing
   tar xvzf mtdissertation.tgz
3. You will get three files: mtdissertation.sty,uohlogo.ps and latex-tips.pdf
4. Edit your .bashrc file (in your home directory) and include the newly created directory in your LaTeX inputs path by adding the following line in your .bashrc file.
   export TEXINPUTS=:$HOME/textstylefiles//:.
   Save it and then type
   . $HOME/.bashrc
   Note you may skip this step if you already are a LaTeX user and did not have to create a new directory in the first step.
