Time	Narration
00:01	Welcome to the spoken tutorial on LaTeX on Windows using TeXworks.
00:07	In this tutorial, we will learn to:
00:09	Download and install MikTeX
00:11	Write basic LaTeX documents using TeXworks
00:15	Configure MikTeX to download missing packages.
00:19	To record this tutorial, I am using Windows7 operating system and MikTeX2.9.
00:27	Let us now see the salient features of TeXworks.
00:31	It is platform independent.
00:33	It has an embedded pdf reader.
00:36	It supports Indian language typesetting.
00:39	Before we start with TeXworks, we have to install MikTeX.
00:44	MikTeX is an up-to-date implementation of TeX or LaTeX and related programs for Windows.
00:52	It contains the necessary packages to create basic documents in LaTeX on Windows.
00:58	Moreover, TeXworks is a default editor available with MikTeX installation.
01:04	Go to the website www.miktex.org
01:10	Click on the Download link for recommended MikTeX installer.
01:15	This will download the MikTeX installer.
01:18	Download and save it on your Desktop.
01:22	It is a large file, about 154 mega bytes.
01:25	Hence, it will take some time to download.
01:27	I have already downloaded this file. Here it is.
01:32	Double click on this file to start the installation.
01:36	Check the check box and click on Next.
01:40	Choose all default options.
01:43	The installation will take around 5 to 10 minutes.
01:47	I have already installed MikTeX on my computer.
01:50	Hence I will not proceed with the installation.
01:54	After successfully installing MikTeX on your computer,
01:58	let us see how to use the TeXworks editor which comes with MikTeX.
02:03	Click on the Windows Start button.
02:07	Click on All Programs.
02:09	Click on MikTeX2.9.
02:12	Click on TeXworks.
02:15	TeXworks editor will open.
02:18	Let me open an already existing LaTeX document.
02:21	I will click on File, then click on Open and choose the directory.
02:28	Then I will open the file "hello.tex".
02:32	You can see that the text written in this file is colored.
02:37	This is called syntax highlighting.
02:41	It helps the user differentiate between the user content and the LaTeX syntax.
02:47	In case the LaTeX syntax is not highlighted, do the following.
02:52	In the TeXworks window, click on Format button available on the Menu bar.
02:58	Select Syntax Colouring and then click on LaTeX.
03:03	If you want TeXworks to apply syntax highlighting every time you create a LaTeX document, do the following.
03:10	On the menu bar, click on Edit ,then click on Preferences.
03:16	In the Editor tab, click on the dropdown button which gives options for Syntax Colouring.
03:22	Choose LaTeX and then click on OK.
03:26	In this way, syntax highlighting will be applied to all documents created in the future.
03:32	Now we are ready to compile our LaTeX document.
03:36	Press Ctrl and t keys together to start the compilation.
03:42	Once the document is compiled without errors, the resulting 'pdf' will be opened.
03:49	Note that this pdf reader comes along with TeXworks.
03:53	It is the default pdf reader used by TeXworks to display the compiled pdf document.
03:59	Now let us compile a Beamer document.
04:02	Beamer package by default is not included in the MikTeX setup that we have installed.
04:08	This means that we have to
04:10	download it from some source and add it to our current MikTeX distribution.
04:15	There are two ways of installing a missing package.
04:19	One way is to install it on the fly while we are compiling a LaTeX document.
04:24	This LaTeX document will typically require a package not available in your MikTeX distribution.
04:31	Other way, is to manually choose and install a package using Package Manager of MikTeX.
04:37	Let us see the first method.
04:40	We will open and compile a LaTeX document which requires MikTeX to install packages from the internet.
04:47	First, close the TeXworks editor.
04:51	It is required that we open the 'tex file' with administrator privileges.
04:56	Click on the Start button.
04:59	Then click on All programs.
05:02	Click on MikTeX2.9.
05:05	Right click on TeXworks and choose Run as Administrator.
05:11	This will launch the TeXworks editor with administrator privileges.
05:16	Now click on File.
05:19	Then click on Open.
05:21	Choose the file beamer.tex.
05:24	Press Ctrl and t keys together to start the compilation.
05:29	A Package Installation dialog box will open.
05:33	It will ask to install the missing package beamer.cls.
05:38	Click on Change button on this dialog box.
05:43	Change Package Repository dialog box will open.
05:47	Choose the option Packages shall be installed from the internet.
05:52	Click on Connection Settings.
05:55	It will prompt you to configure the proxy settings.
05:59	If you are not on a proxy network then leave the Use proxy server check box unchecked.
06:06	Since I am on a proxy network, I will enable the option by clicking on the check box.
06:12	I will enter the proxy address.
06:16	I will enter proxy Port number.
06:19	I will enable the option Authentication required by clicking on the corresponding check box.
06:25	Click on OK. And then click on Next.
06:30	It will ask me the proxy username and password.
06:34	I will enter the information and click on OK.
06:39	It will show a list of various Remote Package Repositories.
06:44	Choose one from the list and click on Finish.
06:48	Click on Install.
06:51	It will install the beamer.cls package.
06:55	Once again the Package Installation dialog box will open.
07:00	It will prompt to install the missing package pgfcore.sty.
07:06	You may uncheck the option. Always show this dialog before installing packages.
07:12	If you do this, MikTeX will not prompt you again, if it encounters a missing package.
07:19	Click on Install.
07:21	Now, if there are any more missing packages, it will automatically install it without asking for your permission.
07:31	Once the installation completes, it will finish the compilation and open the 'pdf' output.
07:38	We can see that we have successfully compiled a Beamer document.
07:42	Now, let us see the second method of installing missing packages.
07:47	Click on the Windows Start button.
07:50	Click on All Programs.
07:53	Click on MikTeX2.9.
07:55	Click on Maintenance (Admin).
07:58	Cick on Package Manager (Admin).
08:02	It will show the list of various packages available.
08:07	Now let us take a look at this list.
08:10	There are six columns in this list.
08:13	These are Name, Category, Size, Packaged date, Installed on date and Title.
08:21	The "Installed on column" is very important to us.
08:25	The packages for which this column is blank indicates that these packages are not installed.
08:32	Let us see how to install a particular package.
08:36	Let me choose the package "abc", for example.
08:41	Notice that the moment I choose the package, the plus button on the top left side gets enabled.
08:48	The plus button is the install button.
08:51	Click on the plus button.
08:53	A window will open which will list the number of packages you have chosen to install or uninstall.
09:00	Click on Proceed.
09:04	Since I have configured a proxy network connection, it will prompt me for the proxy username and password.
09:11	Let me type my username and password.
09:14	Click on OK.
09:16	A window will open which will show the download progress of the package selected for installation.
09:23	It may happen that it fails to download the requested package due to remote server connectivity issues.
09:29	In that case, change the package repository and try again.
09:34	We can see that the installation of selected package is completed.
09:39	Click on Close.
09:41	The package list will get refreshed.
09:44	Notice that 11 September 2013 appears in the "Installed on" column for package "abc".
09:52	This completes the tutorial LaTeX on Windows using TeXworks.
09:58	In this tutorial we learnt to:
10:00	Download and install MikTeX.
