.. meta:: :description lang=en: How to install LaTeX on Windows :description lang=fr: Installer LaTeX sur Windows ################################# How to install LaTeX on Windows ################################# Go look somewhere else! ----------------------- I will not be able to give any better explanations than `www.xm1math.net/doculatex/install_miktex.html `_ (in French, **TODO** find in English). They are complete, trustworthy, and well written. Text Editor ^^^^^^^^^^^ I recommend **TeXMaker** to write \\(\\LaTeX{}\\) on your Windows computer : `http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/download_fr.html#windows `_ (in French, **TODO** find in English). Currently, the direct link is : http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/texmakerwin32_install.exe (55 Mo). .. note:: On Linux ? The usual **text editors** (*emacs*, `Sublime Text 3 `_, *vi(m)*, `Geany`, `Kate `_, or even the minimalist `GNU Nano `_) are all doing a pretty good job (they might require to install one additional plugin, e.g. `LaTeX-plus `_ for `Sublime Text 3`_). For a editor specific to \\(\\LaTeX{}\\), TeXMaker is also available on Linux, but I recommend the awesome `Kile `_ editor. `That list `_ (on Wikipédia) can help you choose a good editor to write awesome \\(\\LaTeX{}\\) documents. LaTeX *"Distribution"* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ And I also recommend the **MikTeX** \\(\\LaTeX{}\\) *"distribution"* : `MikTex.org/2.9/setup `_. Currently, the direct installer link is: http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/win32/miktex/setup/basic-miktex-2.9.5105-x64.exe (160 Mo). .. note:: Sur Linux (2) ? On both Debian and Ubuntu, the recommended distribution is `TexLive `_, which is easily installable thanks to `apt-get` (or `pacman`, or .. whatever your *paquet manager* is). Issues? ^^^^^^^ If any issue occurs during the installation… do it again by following *step-by-step* `the official tutorial `_. Learn how to use \\(\\LaTeX{}\\) ? ---------------------------------- To learn, or refresh your memory about \\(\\LaTeX{}\\), the Wikibook `en.WikiBooks.org/wiki/LaTeX `_ will be more than useful. .. note:: Examples of maths written with \\(\\LaTeX{}\\)? Some of `my pages `_ embed a demo: - `math `_ (in French), shows some simple examples, included in my web-pages, which are written in the `rST markup language `_. - `this example (#5) of StrapDown.js `_. ..
