Usage

1. Initialize the Project:

   This command creates the necessary directory structure and copies the initial configuration and styles files to the specified destination.

2. Setup the Environment:

   revealpack setup
   

   This command sets up the environment for building Reveal.js presentations. It reads the config.json file, creates necessary directories, downloads and installs Reveal.js packages, checks the theme, and generates the necessary templates for the build step.

3. Build the Presentation:

   This command builds the presentation package. It compiles the styles, processes the slide files, and generates the final HTML files in the build directory.

4. Serve the Presentation:

   revealpack serve
   

   This command starts a live server for the current presentations, allowing for real-time editing and viewing.

5. Package the Presentation:

   revealpack package
   

   This command packages the presentation as an executable for distribution.
