INSTALL TEXLIVE 2018 INSTALL
This will make it less likely that you will need to install extra packages later, but, on the other hand, it will take a long time to install 900MB worth of stuff, most of which you will never need (again). You may also want to enable "LaTeX additional packages". For example, you may not need to Polish but may need Korean. You may also wish to change what language-support is installed. For most LyX users, it will be safe to de-select "ConTeXt and packages". Next, click on the "Change" button to the right of "installation collections". (More experienced users may want to try the small or basic scheme, though that will require more manual installation of packages later.) We'll assume you're going with the medium scheme. We recommend the "medium" scheme for newer users. If you keep the "full" scheme, then that is the same as doing the "simple" install. You should first choose a "scheme", by pressing the button marked "Change" to the right of "Selected scheme". You will be given a choice between a "Simple install", a "Custom install", and "Unpack only". So decide what you want to do, and launch the installer. If for all users, then you will want to run the installer as an administrator. Second, you will need to decide whether you want to install TeXLive just for yourself or for all users (assuming you can do that). (There are also some other options.)įirst, download the TeXLive Windows installer from this page. The process we describe here is based upon an internet installation, but the process should work, with some changes, for DVD-based installations, as well. As a result, the bundled installer was discontinued, and this page was created to help older users transition to TeXLive, and to help new users to install it for the first time.įor users with a reliable and reasonable fast internet connection, the easiest way to install TeXLive is over the internet. But, in 2018, there were two major MiKTeX bugs that caused many users not to be able to compile LaTeX documents at all, which caused LyX essentially to stop working for those users (specifically, to be unable to export PDFs). For a long time, MiKTeX was something like the semi-official choice, since there was a 'bundled' installer that installed MiKTeX along with LyX. For Windows there are two main choices: MiKTeX and TeXLive.
INSTALL TEXLIVE 2018 HOW TO
Unfortunately, I'm not a TeX expert so that I can't find how to do that.To use LyX as a 'LaTeX frontend', you need to install a 'TeX distribution', preferably before installing LyX itself. Other than that, you can add the path above to your TeX Live config. To solve this missing font problem, you can install your fonts System Wide by right-clicking the font files and selecting Install for all users.
