Before beginning this tutorial, make sure to have a Linux Distribution as Operating System on your computer. You would then require a TeX distribution and a Text editor of your choice. You would require a working Internet connection (for installation over the network).
.. L4
{{{Show the slide 'TeX Distribution'}}}
.. R4
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'}}}
.. R6
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).
.. L8
{{{Show the slide 'LaTeX Packages'}}}
.. R8
Add-on features for LaTeX are known as packages. Dozens of these are pre-installed with LaTeX and can be used in your documents immediately.
Listed here are a few popular ones and their usage.
.. L9
{{{Show the slide 'Compilation'}}}
.. R9
A given LaTeX document may be compiled using the command: 'pdflatex filename.tex'
This produces an output file, in the pdf format.
