11.7 LaTeX

• MiKTeX
  • First, download MiKTeX. Choose the version corresponding to your operating system (Windows, Mac, or Linux). Skip this step if you decide to use ShareLaTeX, which is an online LaTeX editor and does not require your computer to have underlying LaTeX packages via MiKTeX.
  • Recommended, download the basic installer, which will download other uninstalled packages on the fly on an as-needed basis. If you want to download all packages, you can choose the Net Installer, but this may take up a lot of space.
