SCVeamer 1.5 — English edition: first steps

Use Python 3.11 or later with Tkinter. TeX is needed only when building from
TeX source; for an existing PDF, choose Build HTML from existing PDF after
setting up the libraries. See ../VALIDATION_1_5.md for the current checks.

1. Extract the entire ZIP into a new folder.
2. Have Python 3.11+ with Tkinter available. A LuaLaTeX/Beamer installation is required only for building from TeX, not for converting an existing PDF.
3. In the extracted kit folder, run:

     py scveamer.py

   Alternatively, double-click START_WINDOWS.cmd.
   If your environment uses python, run python scveamer.py instead.
4. The English sample opens automatically as an editable working copy.
5. Click First-time setup (install libraries) to prepare pypdf 6.10.0, pypdfium2 5.14.0 and Pillow 12.3.0 if needed.
   This needs internet access once and creates the kit's .venv.
6. Click Check environment. If TeX is not detected, select the folder containing
   lualatex.exe. Python and TeX themselves are not installed by the setup button.
7. Click Edit source, edit talk.tex in your usual editor, and save it.
8. Click Build HTML from TeX, wait for success, then Open HTML.
   Reload the browser if the presentation is already open.

The Working folder is your editing location, normally workspace/day1/.
You do not need to select or download a separate materials ZIP.

Choose Template v2 or New talk starter for other bundled examples.
Create a new project makes a fresh starter in a new empty folder.
Open my project folder resumes an existing project of your own.

Insert an interactive slide between ordinary frames:

  \exploreframe[lang=en]{sh}{std-b03}{Explore a harmonic saddle}

Arguments: {viewer type}{registered example ID}{slide title}.
The command creates a whole frame; do not wrap it in another frame.
The complete manual ends with all 194 IDs and a Copy TeX button for each.

The bundled presentations contain no videos and can each be shared as one
index.html file. Viewing requires no Python or TeX. Ordinary slides and the
included interactive figures work offline; the website slide needs internet
access. Presentations using your own MP4 files also need the adjacent video
folder, such as index_media/, when shared.
Use arrows or Space to advance, F2 to leave figure interaction, F to toggle
fullscreen, and the slide number to open the contents.

Full manual: manual/index.html (from the kit root).
New video, website and section commands: manual/VERSION_1_5.html.
No video files or video demonstration slides are included in this kit.
Project and joint-development credits: CREDITS.html.

Read ../CREDITS.html / ../CREDITS.txt for precautions, development and review scope, publication plans and the reason for the backend change. ../VALIDATION_PUBLICATION_1_4.txt records the publication-documentation revision and the reported Windows 11 use.
