Install LaTeX editor on Linux
On many Linux systems (including Windows Subsystem for Linux), getting started with LaTeX is easiest with TeXstudio:
download TeXstudio
remove existing old TeXstudio
apt remove texstudio texstudio-data
install latest TeXstudio that you downloaded
gdebi texstudio*amd64.deb
A couple popular packages used in general for LaTeX are obtained via apt install
or similar:
- Biblatex:
texlive-bibtex-extra
- XeTeX:
texlive-xetex
- FontAwesome (for popular emoji and website icons):
texlive-fonts-extra
- Science e.g.
\usepackage{siunitx}:
texlive-science`
Windows Subsystem for Linux
Graphical LaTeX editing on Windows can be done via WSL by:
- install WSL X11
- install TeXstudio for Linux in WSL.
