Install/requirements/setup instructions?

Greetings,

I love the theme and am trying to use it locally but get a lot of errors. I didn't see much help regarding documentation and thought if you added some it would be helpful. For example, I've never used a xelatex beamer theme, so my first surprise was when pdflatex didn't work. Here are the errors I get when trying to compile hsrm-beamer-demo.tex using xelatex on Arch Linux, TexLive 2015 (after installing obvious missing packages):

...

Again, this is probably just due to my unfamiliarity with XeTeX, but I'm not sure and thought I'd inquire. Awesome theme and I'd love to understand how to use it.

It looks like there are still some packages missing. E.g. the filehook package and the dtklogos package. But at least the dtklogos package is not mandatory for the theme. I just use it in one of the example slides. So it is probably sensible to start with the hsrm-beamer-minimal.tex file. To eliminate the babel related error you can probably just change the line 15 (in harm-beamer-minimal.tex) from

\usepackage[german]{babel}

to

\usepackage[english]{babel}

as I suppose you do not need german language support.

\usepackage[english]{babel} switched but still not working :(
