	Now open LyX and pick LyX > Reconfigure from the menu bar.		Now open LyX and pick LyX > Reconfigure from the menu bar.

			Now you can close LyX.

			===Step 3: Use LyX Layout===

			Now you should be able to use your LyX layout. Create a new document, and pick Document > Settings, and look for your new document class in the drop-down menu.


			== Using a LaTeX Class from LyX (Updated June 2018)==

			===Step 1: Install LaTeX Class===

			Install the latex class file (.cls) in a place lyx can find the class file. Using homebrew-installed Latex, this was <code>TEXDIR="/usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/tex/latex"</code>. I ran an <code>mkdir -p $TEXDIR/lyx</code> and put the class file in <code>$TEXDIR/lyx</code>.

			Next, run <code>texhash</code> to update the TeX database.

			===Step 2: Install LyX Layout===

			Install your LaTeX layout file in the LyX application data folder, which is now in <code>~/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.2/layouts</code>

			Now open LyX and pick Tools > Reconfigure from the menu bar.

	Now you can close LyX.		Now you can close LyX.
