A LaTeX class file for the typesetting of a Masters or Doctorate Thesis at the University of Maine (Orono, ME).
To install this class file simply copy or link maine-thesis.cls to your texmf tree. On Unix based systems one of the following commands should work:
cp maine-thesis.cls $(kpsewhich --var-value TEXMFHOME)
ln maine-thesis.cls $(kpsewhich --var-value TEXMFHOME)
On Windows machines the equivalent commands are:
for /f "usebackq tokens=*" %a in (`kpsewhich --var-value TEXMFHOME`) do copy maine-thesis.cls %a
for /f "usebackq tokens=*" %a in (`kpsewhich --var-value TEXMFHOME`) do mklink %a maine-thesis.cls
The advantage to linking over copying is that once you've set this up, you need only use git fetch to make updates, but you do have to keep your copy of the repository.
