  • Latex on Windows
    LaTeX on Windows Installing MikTeX and using TeXworks, as described on the main LaTeX page, is enough to get you started using LaTeX on Windows. This page provides further information for experienced users. Tips for using TeXworks Forward and Inverse Search If you are working on a long document, forward and inverse searching make editing much easier. • Forward search means jumping from a point in your LaTeX source file to the corresponding line in the pdf output file. • Inverse search means jumping from a line in the pdf file back to the corresponding point in the source file. In TeXworks, forward and inverse search are easy. To do a forward search, right-click on text in the source window and choose the option "Jump to PDF". Similarly, to do an inverse search, right-click in the output window and choose "Jump to Source". Other Front End Programs Among front ends, TeXworks has several advantages, principally, it is bundled with MikTeX and it works without any configuration. However, you may want to try other front end programs. The most common ones are listed below. • Texmaker. Installation notes: 1. After you have installed Texmaker, go to the QuickBuild section of the Configuration menu and choose pdflatex+pdfview. 2. Before you use spell-check in Texmaker, you may need to install a dictionary; see section 1.3 of the Texmaker user manual. • Winshell. Installation notes: 1. Install Winshell after installing MiKTeX. 2. When running the Winshell Setup program, choose the pdflatex-optimized toolbar. 3. Winshell uses an external pdf viewer to display output files.

  • Installation Guide
    Introduction to LATEX Workshop: Installation Guide This is a brief guide describing various options for installing a LATEX compiler and editor on your laptop or other computational device. The major software providers all provide automatic installers so in most cases it is as simple as navigating to the proper website and double clicking on an application. 1 Installing LATEX on your computer 1.1 Installing LATEX on Mac The standard compiler for Mac computers is called MacTEXwhich can be downloaded and installed from: http://tug.org/mactex/. The editor TEXMaker can be downloaded and installed from: www.xm1math.net/texmaker. 1.2 Installing LATEX on Windows The standard compiler for Windows computers is called MikTEXwhich can be downloaded and installed from: http://miktex.org/. The editor TEXMaker can be downloaded and installed from: www.xm1math.net/texmaker. 1.3 Installing LATEX on Linux Many contemporary Unix distributions are already packaged with a LATEXcompiler and editor. If you are using Ubuntu or Debian then you can install directly from the terminal by entering: sudo apt-get install texlive-full followed by sudo apt-get install texmaker. On RedHat or CentOS you can use sudo yum install tetex to obtain the compiler. In- stalling TEXmaker is a little more complicated but any text editor will work as well. 2 Tablets and Mobile Devices Most of the online editors have app versions that can be used from your phone or tablet. If you want to compile documents on these devices without an internet connection there are a few options. There are two popular ios apps: TeXPad and TeXWriter.

  • Setting up Your Working Environment
    Setting Up your Working Environment By Christof Lutteroth This document gives some advice on how to get a working environment set up for an academic project in Computer Science. It outlines the various tools that make research in a group a little bit easier. If you have any questions, please discuss them with your supervisor. Collecting Citations using BibTeX BibTeX is the standard citation subsystem for LaTeX. It allows you to collect citations of various document types, such as conference papers, journal articles, books and technical reports. When using Google Scholar, you need to go to “Scholar Preferences” from the main page (scholar.google.com) and adjust the settings to make Google show links to BibTeX entries for each citation. The BibTex entries can be copied directly into your .bib file. If you are working from home and would like to access PDFs of publications through the university library, you can use the following Google Scholar proxy server: http://scholar.google.com.ezproxy.auckland.ac.nz Writing your Thesis using LaTeX The LaTeX typesetting system is a text-based compiler that reads a document description language and creates relatively nice looking documents such as PDFs. Although not always easy to use, it will help you to produce a thesis without having to worry too much about formatting issues. If you are working on Windows, make sure your computer has the MikTeX distribution installed (www.miktex.org). MikTeX is an implementation of LaTeX specifically for Windows. The “basic MikTeX system” should be enough. There are also LaTeX distributions for other operating systems.

  • 1 R Installation Instructions 2 LATEX Installation Instructions
    1 R Installation Instructions 1. Download R from http://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html.1 2. Once you've picked a mirror download R for your operating system. 3. When it's done downloading, install R. 4. (Optional) Download and install the most recent version of RStudio Desktop from http://www. rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/.2 • Make sure you install R before RStudio. Not doing so could potentially cause issues. 2 LATEX Installation Instructions LaTeX is a powerful document preparation system. It allows you to output high-quality and customizable pdf documents. LATEX is a document markup language, meaning that it consists of syntax that specifies to the program how the document is to be formatted - that is, typesetting instructions. More common examples of markup languages are HTML and XML. Markup embedded in a LATEX document conveys formatting and processing specifications to the TEX engine. It then allows you to output fancy PDFs like this one (and just about everything else used in the Prefresher) To begin using LATEX you need to things: • LATEX front end or text editor to write a .tex file • LATEX compiler that processes the TEX code you've written and outputs the document you want Windows users: • Compiler: MiKTeX • Some editors: Texmaker , TeXnic Center , LyX. 3 Mac users: • Compiler: MacTeX • Some editors: TeXShop , Aquamacs , Texmaker , TextWrangler , Latexian 1It doesn't really matter which mirror you use. 2RStudio is, in my opinion, the best IDE (integrated development environment) for R. It allows you to simultaneously see your R Console, multiple scripts of code, all the objects in your workspace, your working directory, plots, installed packages, and help files.

  • Travels in TEX Land: Choosing a TEX Environment for Windows
    The PracTEX Journal TPJ 2005 No 02, 2005-04-15 Rev. 2005-04-17 Travels in TEX Land: Choosing a TEX Environment for Windows David Walden The author of this column wanders through world of TEX, as a non-expert, reporting what he observes and learns, which hopefully will be interesting to other non-expert users of TEX. 1 Introduction This column recounts my experiences looking at and thinking about different ways TEX is set up for users to go through the document-composition to type- setting cycle (input and edit, compile, and view or print). First, I’ll describe my own experience randomly trying various TEX environments. I suspect that some other users have had a similar introduction to TEX; and perhaps other users have just used the environment that was available at their workplace or school. Then I’ll consider some categories for thinking about options in TEX setups. Last, I’ll suggest some follow-on steps. Since I use Microsoft Windows as my computer operating system, this note focuses on environments that are available for Windows.1 2 My random path to choosing a TEX environment 2 I started using TEX in the late 1990s. 1But see my offer in Section 4. 2 While I started using TEX, I switched from TEX to using LATEX as soon as I discovered LATEX existed. Since both TEX and LATEX are operated in the same way, I’ll mostly refer to TEX in this note, since that is the more basic system. c 2005 David C. Walden I don’t quite remember my first setup for trying TEX.
