For Mac Users:
Package Control for LaTexTools
To compile the book on Mac OS X, it is recommended that you install MacTex from this link: https://tug.org/mactex/
MacTex will come packaged with a LaTex editor that can be used to compile the book. The team behind the book have used Sublime Text 3.0 with the additional package named LaTexTools to compile the book directly from Sublime Text, a very beautiful text editor.
To compile the book on Windows, it is recommended that you install TeX Live from this link: http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html
Be sure to follow the installation instructions carefully.
The team behind the book have used Sublime Text 3.0 with the additional package named LaTexTools to compile the book directly from Sublime Text, a very beautiful text editor.
When you have setup your build environment, open the file "latex/making360.tex", and compile it (press Command + B via Sublime). This file routes all the separate chapter files and builds the book. Whenever you make changes to the specific chapter files in "latex/chapters/", do not try to compile the specific chapter you've edited. Instead, you need to compile "latex/making360.tex".
