Prepare to set aside at least an hour of your time to install LaTeX. You should also be on campus or using a high-speed internet connection, since you will have to download a large file. You need to install two different parts, a LaTeX compiler (MiKTeX) and an editor (TeXstudio). Visit and click on the protext.exe file to download it. (Note: disregard the Last modified date the latest version will be here at any given time.) This is the proTeXt installer, and it’s quite large (~2.5 GB), so be prepared to wait a bit while it downloads. Once the file has downloaded, double-click on protext.exe.If you see a security warning, click Run. Extract the installation files to your desktop.In the file extracting window, set the destination folder to one called "protext" on your Desktop: click the Browse button.In the Browse for Folder window, click on Desktop and then click the Make New Folder button. Name the new folder protext, click on the new folder to select it, and then click OK to close the Browse for Folder window. If a security window pops up, choose Yes, and then just wait, the extraction process will continue. Once the files have been extracted, the window will close. In the Settings, choose Letter as the preferred paper size.Accept the defaults on the next 2 screens by clicking Next.Choose to install Basic MikTeX, then click Next.Answer yest to any security warnings, and then Read and accept the "copying conditions" by checking the box, then click Next.In the proTeXt pop-up window, click the Install button next to MiKTeX.Double-click on Setup.exe to begin the installation Go to your desktop and then double-click on the protext folder to open it. Make sure ‘ Ask Me First’ is chosen for the package installation option. When it is complete, click Next and then Close. In the proTeXt pop-up window, click the Install button next to TeXstudio.Click through the installer, leaving all the defaults.Click Finish when the installer is complete.You have now installed both LaTeX and the editor.You can now delete the downloaded protext.exe file as well as the protext folder on your desktop.1. It doesn't really matter whether you get the complete or basic system, as the basic system will download packages as needed.ģ. Fire up TeXstudio and hit Options -> Configure TexStudio.Ĥ. Under "Commands", change "Bibtex" from "bibtex %" to "bibtex8 %" (bibtex8 is later and greater and is needed for biblatex, which is better than bibtex for reference handling).ĥ. Under "Quick Build", check "PdfLaTeX + Ldf Viewer". Not all LaTeX compilers were created equal, and Pdf is likely the format you'll want.Ħ. If you're feeling adventurous, go to "Editor" and change the font family to "Consolas" :) #Texmaker texstudio pdf# TeXstudio (and its parent TeXmaker) operate on the principle that you don't need any fancy project files getting in the way. Instead, it works on the concept of a 'master document'. Versions from the default repositories, but I'm not certain.If you have no master document selected, TeXstudio will attempt to compile the current file when you hit any of the compilation buttons ("Quick Build", etc). I'm on Linux Mint 15 (olivia) (basically Ubuntu 13.04), using Kile It will automatically run biber and rerun pdflatex when needed. Now the tool PDFLaTeXĬan be run by itself, or used in another tool like QuickBuild, and Now just make sure that this new configuration is selected in the dropĭown box Choose a configuration for the tool BibTeX, and that theīox Automatically run additional tools is ticked off in theĬonfiguration you use for the PDFLaTeX tool. Set everything equal to the Default configuration in the Menu tab.Set everything equal to the Default configuration, except the Source extension, which should be bcf. For example, to create a bibliography list for chemistry-related references, and one for physics-related references, here are the steps required: Load the multibib package, and use the ewcites command to create the ' Math ' and ' Phys ' bibliography types.
