Downloading and installing MiKTeX/TeXworks. Click the “Download Basic MiKTeX 2.9” button. Save the file (it should be called something like “basic-miktex-2.9.3248.exe”) to a place where you can find it. (The default is the folder “D: Data Documents Downloads”.). Go to the MiKTeX downloads page and select the basic installer. Click to run the package. Accept the 'copying conditions' and click next through all of the default settings. For Windows, a good point to start is definitely installing the MiKTeX bundle. It will manage all the packages for you and also comes with a lightweight and easy to use editor.

MiKTeX is available for selected Linux distributions.

Installing MiKTeX on Linux involves these steps:

Miktex Console Install

1. Register the GPG key with which MiKTeX installation packages and metadata is signed. The key ID is: D6BC243565B2087BC3F897C9277A7293F59E4889
2. Register the installation source which contains the MiKTeX installation package. The installation source depends on the Linux distribution version.
3. Use the package management system to install MiKTeX.
4. Finish the setup.
5. Upgrade your TeX distribution. This is an optional step.

Please click a tab to get instructions for your Linux distribution:

d. Finish the setup

Before you can use MiKTeX, you have to finish the setup. You can use MiKTeX Console or, if you prefer the command line, miktexsetup.

How To Install Miktex On Windows Media Player

Search&click the MiKTeX Console icon to start MiKTeX Console:

Now is the time to make a decision:

Do you want to set up a private (for you only) TeX installation, or do you want to set up a shared (system-wide) TeX installation?

You probably want to choose the first option.

The second option makes sense if you are the administrator of a multi-user system. If this is the case and if you expect that some of your users would like to work with MiKTeX, then you should install MiKTeX system-wide.

Click one of the two buttons if you have made your decision.

Run

to finish with a private (for you only) TeX installation. Executables like lualatex will be installed in ~/bin.

Run

to finish with a shafred (system-wide) TeX installation. Executables like lualatex will be installed in /usr/local/bin.

You also may want to enable automatic package installation:

Or, if you have a shared installation:

e. Upgrade

If you have just installed MiKTeX, then you have the option to upgrade your installation to a standard TeX system. Just click the Upgrade button. Please be aware that this starts a ~200MB download.

Alternatively, you can turn on the auto-install feature and let MiKTeX install missing packages on-the-fly. This will help you to keep your TeX installation as minimal as possible (“Just enough TeX”).
