+Siin asub arvutiteaduse instituudi bakalaureuse- ja magistriأµppe lأµputأ¶أ¶de LaTeX mall. See mall on mأµeldud abistava juhendina, kuidas Teie vأµite oma lأµputأ¶أ¶d vormistada. Konkreetsete reeglite jaoks tuleks vaadata [Tartu أœlikooli arvutiteaduse instituudis kaitsvate lأµputأ¶أ¶de nأµuete ja hindamise](https://cs.ut.ee/en/content/thesis-deadlines-and-guidelines) dokumenti.

+
+Selleks, et kasutada seda malli **Visual Studio Code** tأ¶أ¶keskkonnas, kأµigepealt tأµmmake ja paigaldage see tأ¶أ¶keskkond ([https://code.visualstudio.com/]).
+
+Visual Studio (VS) Code on paljude vأµimsate laiendustega kergeloomuline tأ¶أ¶keskkond. Selleks, et VS Code keskkonnas LaTeXiga tأ¶أ¶d teha, tuleks paigaldada jأ¤rgnevad tأ¶أ¶keskkonna laiendused:
+* **LaTeX Workshop** – Pأµhiline laiendus, mis vأµimaldab LaTeXiga tأ¶أ¶d teha.
+* **Hide Gitignored** – See laiendus peidab أ¤ra tأ¶أ¶keskkonna failivaaturi paneelist suurearvulised LaTeXi tأ¶أ¶failid.
+
+Te peate ka LaTeXi eraldi oma arvutisse paigaldama.
+
+### Windowsil
+
+Tأµmmake alla [https://www.tug.org/texlive/windows.html#:~:text=install%2Dtl%2Dwindows.exe.](Tex Live) tarkvara. Paigaldamisel te vأµite valida *Advanced* seadistused ja muuta *full scheme* (8 GB) valiku *basic scheme* (~400 MB) valiku peale. Olenemata valikust peate te kأ¤sitsi paigaldama ka `latexmk` ja `latexmk.windows` paketid.
+
+Kui te valisite *basic scheme* valiku, siis peate te paigaldama ka jأ¤rgnevad paketid: 
+```xcolor, parskip, etoolbox, microtype, kastrup, newtx, xpatch, xkeyval, xstring, fontaxes, tex-gyre, titlesec, caption, wrapfig, collectbox, adjustbox, footmisc, fancyvrb, fvextra, upquote, lineno, csquotes, cachefile, float, fp, latex2pydata, minted.windows, newfloat, pgf, pgfopts, minted, logreq, biblatex, biber.windows, biber, babel-estonian, hyphen-Estonian, euenc, tipa, xunicode, fontspec, lua-ul, tabularray, ninecolors
+```
+
+Kui VS Code tأ¶أ¶keskond أ¼tleb, et ta ei leia أ¼les konkreetset paketti, siis kasutage Tex Live tarkvara, et see paigaldada.

+Here are the LaTeX thesis templates for to help with writing your bachelor's or master's thesis at the Institute of Computer Science. The template is for guidance on how Your thesis could be formatted. For specific rules, refer to the [Guidelines for preparing and grading of graduation theses at the Institute of Computer Science of the University of Tartu](https://cs.ut.ee/en/content/thesis-deadlines-and-guidelines) document

+## Visual Studio Code
+
+To use this template with **Visual Studio Code**, first download and install the IDE ([https://code.visualstudio.com/]).
+
+Visual Studio (VS) Code is a lightweight IDE with very powerful extensions. To work with LaTeX in VS Code, install the following extensions from within the IDE:
+* **LaTeX Workshop** – The main extension that allows working with LaTeX.
+* **Hide Gitignored** – This will hide all the many working files of LaTeX from your IDE-s Expolorer panel.
+
+You also need to separately install LaTeX itself on your computer.
+
+### For Windows
+Download the [https://www.tug.org/texlive/windows.html#:~:text=install%2Dtl%2Dwindows.exe.](Tex Live) software. When installing, you can select *Advaned* and change *full scheme* (8 GB) to *basic scheme* (~400 MB). Regardless of your choice, you have to install the packages `latexmk` and `latexmk.windows` manually.
+
+If you chose the *basic scheme*, you need to also install the following packages: 
+```xcolor, parskip, etoolbox, microtype, kastrup, newtx, xpatch, xkeyval, xstring, fontaxes, tex-gyre, titlesec, caption, wrapfig, collectbox, adjustbox, footmisc, fancyvrb, fvextra, upquote, lineno, csquotes, cachefile, float, fp, latex2pydata, minted.windows, newfloat, pgf, pgfopts, minted, logreq, biblatex, biber.windows, biber, babel-estonian, hyphen-Estonian, euenc, tipa, xunicode, fontspec, lua-ul, tabularray, ninecolors
+```
+If at any time VS Code tells you that it cannot find a specific package, use the Tex Live software to install it.
