Certificates for The Carpentries

This repository generates certificates for participants.

Pure python method

Install required packages

pip3 install jinja jinja2-cli svglib

Generate certificate

jinja2 swc-hsf-iris-hep-attendance.svg -D name="Firstname Lastname" -D date="Nov. 6, 2022" -D instructor="Some Instructor Name" > generated_certificate.svg && svg2pdf generated_certificate.svg

The certificate is now available as generated_certificate.pdf.

Alternative method with cairosvg

This depends on the python package cairosvg which in turn depends on cairo development libraries being installed. To use this method, use bin/certificates.py to build certificates.
