+TeX Live is an easy way to get up and running with the TeX document production system. It provides a comprehensive TeX system with binaries for most flavors of Unix, including GNU/Linux, and also Windows.
+
+.. L5
+
+{{{Show the slide 'Installation'}}}
+
+.. R5
+
+There are multiple ways of installation. You may download a LaTeX distribution and run the installer.
+An other way is to install using the command: 'sudo apt-get install texlive' (or) 'sudo apt-get install texlive-full'.
+
+.. L6
+
+{{{Move onto next slide of 'Installation'}}}
+

+
+We may also install LaTeX using a package manager like 'Synaptic Package Manager in Ubuntu'.
+Using 'Synaptic Package Manager': Open the 'Package Manager' > Search for 'texlive-full' > Mark for installation and apply.
+
+
+.. L7
+
+{{{Show the slide 'LaTeX Plug-in'}}}
+
+.. R7
+
+We may use a Text editor (as per your choice) as LaTeX editor. However, we require a plug-in to do this.
+We would like to illustrate the same using Gedit.
+Install the plug-in: 'sudo apt-get install gedit-latex-plugin'.
+To activate the plug-in: Click (Edit > Preferences > Plugins > Check LaTeX Plugin).
+

+Listed here are a few popular ones and their usage.
