The following are some downloads that are important to start to start writing in TeX.
If you are using a Windows machine, you can download and install the following two programs (MiKTeX and TeXnicCenter, in that order) to get started with LaTeX. These programs are free, and are not produced or distributed by AoPS Incorporated.
Note: These are not the only ways to install and use LaTeX on your computer. The TeX Users Group has a list of other LaTeX programs, including programs for Mac and Linux computers.
we were both young when i first saw you i close my eyes and the flashback starts im standing there on a balcony in summer air. see the lights see the party the ball gowns. I see you make your way through the crowd and say hello little did i know. I thought you were romeo throwing pebbles and my daddy said stay away from juliet and i was crying on the staircase begging you please dont go and i said. romeo take me somewhere we can be alone. love taylor swift.
At this point, MiKTeX should be installed on your computer.
TeXnicCenter
TeXnicCenter is a visual interface and editor for producing LaTeX documents. It is not a "What You See Is What You Get" (WYSIWYG) editor, meaning your code doesn't immediately become nice math images as you type. However, it does include an easy-to-use interface for finding symbol commands, and its text editor is custom-designed to help you avoid syntax errors. To install TeXnicCenter:
- Click here to open the TeXnicCenter download site. (Right click on the link and open it in a new window.)
- Click on "Downloads" on the top of the page.
- Click on the link "TeXnicCenter Installer".
- Once the download is finished, run the program that you just downloaded. We recommend accepting the default options, except that you may wish to add a desktop shortcut icon when you are asked.
- If you elected to have a shortcut on the desktop, just click the icon on the desktop. Otherwise, click Start on the main Windows window, then 'All Programs', then 'TeXnicCenter', then choose the TeXnicCenter option.
- When the program starts, a Tips window will open. Click Close. The program will then walk you through the configuration wizard:
- When it asks you for the "full path of the directory where the executables" are located, type C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin (Note: if you changed the default location when installing MiKTeX, then you'll need to replace C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9 with the directory to which you installed MiKTeX. Your computer may also have used C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9 as the installation folder, in which case you'll instead have to type C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin as the directory for the executables.)
- If it asks you to pick a PostScript viewer, you may just leave everything blank and just click "Next". Similarly if it asks you to pick a DVI viewer, just leave everything blank and click "Next". (It may or may not ask you these things, depending on how your computer is configured.)
