latex - Installation of Latex - latex tutorial



Why we need latex installation?

  • LaTeX can be run from the command line with a text editor and properly installed programs, however, I recommend using a LaTeX environment.
  • This will simplify matters and also provide a development environment with useful properties such as syntax highlighting, compiling macros, etc.

Types of Installation:

    • Linux
    • Windows
    • Mac OS
  • There are many editors for LaTeX and I don't think there is an editor that fits everyone.
  • It's a matter of personal taste.
  • I've chosen MiKTeX for Windows, because it contains everything you need to compile, but not more, so you will not be confused by an overwhelming user interface.

Linux:

  • If you're running Linux, you can find the texlive package in most repositories.
  • Afterwards you can use any text editor to follow along and compile the .tex files with the command line tool pdflatex.
  • I don't use a graphical editor myself, but I heard Kile is a good one, but it requires the KDE libraries and Qt to be installed.

Windows:

  • For Windows, a good point to start is definitely installing the MiKTeX bundle.
  • It will manage all the packages for you and also comes with a lightweight and easy to use editor.
