Downloading L^ATEX

To begin, you need to download a full installation of L^ATEXfor your operating system. To do so, you may need to contact your system administrator. If you have administrative rights, then you can download a full install for your platform from the following locations:

• Linux - use your package management software to install a full texlive (you may need additional packages depending on your distribution).
• Mac - install MacTex http://www.tug.org/mactex/2011/.
• Windows - install MikTex http://miktex.org/.

The respective downloads typically are quite large and take a substantial amount of time to complete, so start the download and come back later. Once your download is done, test your installation by executing pdflatex at the command line. If everything works fine then continue onwards.
