WORKING WITH LATEX IN UBUNTU

Latex, is a word procesor with a lot of history used by scientifics, editorials and others. I recommend you to google Latex for details.

Here is the formula to work with latex in Ubuntu:

1. Type: sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-base

2. Type: sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-recommended

3. (optional) sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended

If you want a visual editor install Lyx from Applications>Add/Remove.

Use Lyx for a graphical environment. Or use the text editor and compile on the terminal with: latex yourfile.tex to create a .dvi, or pdflatex yourfile.tex to create a pdf.
