LaTeX 101 - Intro for Newbies
[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]Installation
[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]Local (a big download!):
- Linux: normally look for your package manager's distribution (Arch Linux, Ubuntu Users (Deutsch)), otherwise see TeX Live Quick install
- Windows: TeX Live again (Cygwin might be painful though)
- macOS: either Homebrew or MacTeX distribution
Online/web: no setup, use Overleaf in your browser.
