# How to Create PowerPoint Presentation
|
|
|
|
## Option 1: Automated Python Script (Recommended)
|
|
|
|
### Steps:
|
|
|
|
1. **Install Python 3** (if not already installed)
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Check if Python is installed
|
|
python3 --version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Install python-pptx library**
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install python-pptx
|
|
# OR if you get permission errors:
|
|
pip install --user python-pptx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Run the generation script**
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /home/theflow/projects/tractatus
|
|
python3 scripts/generate-presentation.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. **Open the generated file**
|
|
```
|
|
Location: docs/outreach/AI-Led-Pluralistic-Deliberation-Presentation.pptx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. **Customize**
|
|
- Replace [Your Name], [Email], [Phone], [Date] with actual information
|
|
- Add your logo/branding
|
|
- Adjust colors if desired
|
|
|

|
## Option 2: Manual Creation (Using Markdown as Guide)
|
|
|
|
### Steps:
|
|
|
|
1. **Open PowerPoint/Keynote/Google Slides**
|
|
|
|
2. **Use as reference:** `docs/outreach/PRESENTATION-DECK-Simulation-Results.md`
|
|
|
|
3. **Create slides following the structure:**
|
|
- Slide 1: Title slide
|
|
- Slide 2: The Big Question
|
|
- Slide 3: What We'll Cover
|
|
- ... (follow the 25-slide structure in markdown file)
|
|
|
|
4. **Copy content from markdown file**
|
|
- Each slide is clearly marked in the markdown
|
|
- Speaker notes included for reference
|
|
|
|
5. **Apply visual design:**
|
|
- Color palette:
|
|
- Primary: Dark Blue (RGB 31, 78, 121)
|
|
- Secondary: Orange (RGB 242, 125, 47)
|
|
- Accent: Green (RGB 76, 175, 80)
|
|
- Font: Sans-serif (Montserrat, Roboto, or similar)
|
|
- Use diagrams/flowcharts for complex concepts
|
|
|
|
**Time estimate:** 2-3 hours
|
|

4. Adjust formatting and design
|
|
5. Export as PDF or present online
|
|
|
|
### Using Canva

## Option 4: Request AI-Generated Images/Diagrams
|
|
|
|
If you need specific diagrams created (e.g., the 3-layer safety architecture, accommodation framework), let me know and I can:
|
|
|
|
1. Create SVG/PNG diagrams
|
|
2. Generate specific visualizations
|
|
3. Create infographics for data
|
|

|
|
**Most Control:** Option 2 (Manual) - 2-3 hours

## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
**Python script fails:**
|
|
- Check Python 3 is installed: `python3 --version`
|
|
- Install pip if missing: `sudo apt install python3-pip` (Linux) or download from python.org (Windows/Mac)
|
|
- Try `python` instead of `python3` if on Windows
|
|
|
|
**Module not found:**
|
|
- Reinstall: `pip install --upgrade python-pptx`
|
|
- Check installation: `pip list | grep python-pptx`
|
|
|
|
**Permission errors:**
|
|
- Use `pip install --user python-pptx` (installs for current user only)
|
|
- Or create virtual environment:
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 -m venv venv
|
|
source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
|
|
pip install python-pptx
|
|
python scripts/generate-presentation.py
|
|
```
|
|
