LaTeX

Set up your LaTeX environment

MiKTeX is an up-to-date LaTeX implementation for the Windows operating system. To install go to www.MikTeX.org and from the Download/Install section download the current version.  Choose from the basic or complete installation.  In most cases the basic installation is best as additional packages are easily installed later.  For best results let the installer install the program in the default location.
