Installing the compiler
|
|
|
|
@content
|
|
* The compiler translates our L<sup style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 73%; margin-left: -.25em; margin-right: -.05em; position: relative; top: .2em">A</sup>T<sub style="font-size: 100%; margin-left: -.1em">E</sub>X code into a properly formatted PDF document.
|
|
* Depending on your operating system, different compilers are available:
|
|
|
|
* Windows: <a href="https://miktex.org/download">MikT<sub style="font-size: 100%; margin-left: -.1em">E</sub>X</a>
|
|
* Linux: <a href="https://tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#installation">T<sub style="font-size: 100%; margin-left: -.1em">E</sub>XLive</a> (preferably `texlive-full`)
|
|
* macOS: <a href="http://tug.org/mactex/">MacT<sub style="font-size: 100%; margin-left: -.1em">E</sub>X</a>
|
|
|
|
<div class="box warning">
|
|
On Windows, please open the MikT<sub style="font-size: 100%; margin-left: -.1em">E</sub>X Console once and search for updates.

Installing the editor
|
|
|
|
@content
|
|
* An editor can be downloaded once the compiler has been installed.
|
|
* For editing LaTeX documents, any text editor works fine, e. g., <a href="https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/">Notepad++</a> or <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/download">VSCode</a>.
|
|
* For beginners, we recommend <a href="https://www.texstudio.org/">T<sub style="font-size: 100%; margin-left: -.1em">E</sub>Xstudio</a> due to its LaTeX-specific features.
|
|
* Download and install T<sub style="font-size: 100%; margin-left: -.1em">E</sub>Xstudio.

Windows users: In order to enable file endings, click the view tab in the file explorer, and select *file name extensions*. This helps differentiating the different ``main`` files.
