Installation


Overview

This section will give installation instructions for PC and Mac users as well as a new cloud based solution for LaTeX typesetting.

Why we need 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.


PC - MikTeX

  1. Go to MikTeX.org
  2. Download recommended installer.
  3. Install downloaded package.
  4. Ready to LaTeX!
