+This repository contains LaTeX configuration files that I use to format
+my papers. They are all released under the GNU GPL version 3 or later.
+
+The latest version can be found at: http://mako.cc/scripts/
+
+As scripts and configuration files, I do not "release" these files. You
+can always check out the latest version with Git with the following
+command:
+
+  git clone http://projects.mako.cc/source/latex_mako/.git

+================================
+=== Dependencies ===============
+================================
+
+If you are running Debian or Ubuntu, you will first need to install the
+following packages:
+
+  * rubber
+  * texlive-latex-recommended
+  * texlive-fonts-extra
+  * texlive-fonts-recommended
+  * texlive-bibtex-extra 
+
+You can do so with the following command:
+
+  apt-get install rubber texlive-latex-recommended \
+  texlive-fonts-extra texlive-fonts-recommended \
+  texlive-bibtex-extra 
+
+I don't know the details of setting up these LaTeX files to work with on
+systems other than Debian or Ubuntu but imagine it will involve
+installing a full TeX Live distribution.
+
+In my templates, I make extensive use of the following Garamond font:
