I There are several browser/cloud-based solutions. Overleaf, ShareLaTeX and Authorea all provide collaborative editing capabilities and LATEX package and template support. There are free and paid versions of each. The UVa Library has purchased a site license for the paid version of Overleaf, available to everyone at UVa. I You can also install LATEX locally. TeXLive (MacTeX on Macs) is one good (and free) choice. It can be configured to check for package updates at CTAN automatically. I When you try to write valid LATEX you’ll want an editor that has a LATEX mode. TeXShop (part of TeXLive) is one, TeXStudio is another. Emacs and VIM have good support.
