How to build on Linux Mint 17.2

[olafurgreen]

In order to build this book on Linux Mint 17.2 I had to install using apt-get the following packages

pandoc
texlive-xetex
texlive-latex-recommended
texlive-fonts-recommended
lmodern
ttf-mscorefonts-installer
texlive-latex-extra
latex-xcolor

In addition the Consolas TrueType font is also needed.
To install it I followed

http://geek.co.il/2011/10/22/installing-consolas-truetype-font-for-linux

and created a folder

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msnocore

and copied the Consolas TrueType font files

Consolas Bold Italic.ttf
Consolas Bold.ttf
Consolas Italic.ttf
Consolas Regular.ttf

into it.
