|On slide
| Dear Friends,

Welcome to the spoken tutorial on '''“LaTeX on Windows using TeXworks”'''

|-
|On slide

| In this tutorial we will learn to,
# Download and install '''MikTeX'''
# Write basic '''LaTeX''' documents using '''TeXworks'''
# Configure '''MikTeX''' to download missing packages

|-
|On slide
| To record this tutorial, I am using '''Windows7 '''operating system and MikTeX2.9

|-
|On slide

| Let us now see the salient features of '''TeXworks'''

# It is platform independent
# It has an embedded pdf reader
# It supports Indian language typesetting

|-
|On slide

| Before we start with '''TeXworks''', we have to install '''MikTeX'''.

'''MikTeX''' is an up-to-date implementation of '''TeX/LaTeX''' and related programs for '''Windows'''.

It contains the necessary packages to create basic documents in '''LaTeX '''on '''Windows'''

Moreover, '''TeXworks''' is a default editor available with '''MikTeX''' installation.

|-
| On the browser
|Go to the website [http://www.miktex.org/ www.]'''miktex'''[http://www.miktex.org/ .org]

|-
|Click on that link

| Click on the download link for recommended '''MikTeX''' installer.

This will download the '''MikTeX''' installer.

|-
| Choose Desktop in Save location

|Download and save it on your '''Desktop.'''

It is a large file, about 154 mega bytes.

Hence, it will take some time to download.

|-
| Switch to the Desktop and point to the file.
|I have already downloaded this file. Here it is.

|-
|Double-click >> click Run

| Double click on this file to start the installation.

Check the check box and click on '''Next'''.

Choose all default options.

|-
| Show the installation process

|The installation will take around 5 to 10 minutes.

I have already installed '''MikTeX''' on my computer.

Hence I will not proceed with the installation.

|-
|
|After successfully installing '''MikTeX''' on your computer,

let us see how to use the '''TeXworks''' editor which comes with '''MikTeX.'''

|-
|Click on Windows>>All programs >> '''MikTeX'''>>'''TeXworks'''

| Click on the '''Windows start''' button.

Click on '''All Programs'''.

Click on '''MikTeX2.9'''

Click on '''TeXworks'''

|-
|
| '''TeXworks''' editor will open.

Let me open an already existing '''LaTeX''' document.

|-
| Click on File >> Open >> hello.tex
|I will click on '''File,''' then click on '''Open''' and choose the directory.

Then I will open the file '''hello.tex'''.

|-
|Point to some of the coloured text

Point also to the user content

| You can see that the text written in the file is colored.

This is called '''syntax''' '''highlighting'''.

It helps the user differentiate between the user content and the '''LaTeX''' syntax.

|-
|
|In case the '''LaTeX''' syntax is not highlighted, do the following.

|-
|Click on Format
| In the '''TeXworks''' window, click on '''Format''' button available on the '''Menu bar'''.

|-
|Select '''Syntax Colouring'''>>'''LaTeX'''.
| Select '''Syntax Colouring''' and then click on '''LaTeX'''.

|-
|
| If you want '''TeXworks''' to apply '''syntax highlighting''' every time you create a '''LaTeX''' document, do the following

|-
| Click on '''Edit''' >> '''Preferences'''
|On the '''menu''' bar, click on '''Edit''' and then click on '''Preferences'''.

|-
| Editor tab>> dropdown>> Syntax Colouring
|In the '''Editor''' tab, click on the dropdown button which gives options for '''Syntax Colouring'''.

|-
| Choose '''LaTeX'''>>Ok
|Choose '''LaTeX''' and then click on '''Ok.'''

|-
|
|In this way, '''syntax''' '''highlighting''' will be applied to all documents created in the future.

|-
|
|Now we are ready to compile our '''LaTeX''' document.

|-
|Press Ctrl+T keys
| Press '''Ctrl''' and '''t''' keys together to start the compilation.

|-
|
| Once the document is compiled without errors, the resulting '''pdf''' will be opened.

|-
| Point to the pdf document
|Note that this '''pdf''' reader comes along with '''TeXworks.'''

It is the default '''pdf''' reader used by '''TeXworks''' to display the compiled '''pdf''' documents.

|-
| On slide
|We have completed the basic installation of LATEX

This is sufficient for many formatting requirements

You may now leave this tutorial

Practice the remaining LATEX tutorials on the playlist

|-
| On slide
|While practising other tutorials, you may get the following error message:
“The required file ABC is missing.
It is a part of the following package:
XYZ”

Here ABC is a file inside the package XYZ

ABC and XYZ will be specific to your case

|-
| On slide
|When you get such an error message, listen to the rest of THIS tutorial

Two ways to solve that problem are explained in the rest of this tutorial

At least one of them should work for you

Goodbye for now

|-
| On slide
|Do you want to know how to solve a problem of the following type:
“The required file ABC is missing.
It is a part of the following package:
XYZ”

Listen to the rest of this tutorial and practise with me

|-
|
| Now let us compile a '''Beamer''' document.

|-
| On slide

|Beamer package by default is not included in the '''MikTeX''' setup that we have installed.

This means that we have to
*download it from some source and
*add it to our current '''MikTeX''' distribution

|-
| On slide

|There are two ways of installing a missing package.

One way is to install it on the fly while we are compiling a '''LaTeX''' document

This '''LaTeX''' document will typically require a package not available in your '''MikTeX''' distribution.

Other way, is to manually choose and install a package using '''Package''' '''Manager''' of '''MikTeX'''.

|-
|
|Let us see the first method.

|-
|
| We will
* open and compile a '''LaTeX''' document,
* which requires '''MikTeX'''
* to install packages from the '''internet'''.

|-
| Close '''TeXworks'''
|First close the '''TeXworks''' editor.

|-
|Click on Start>> All programs >> '''MikTeX'''

| It is required that we open the '''tex''' file with administrator privileges.

Click on the '''start''' button.

Then click on '''All programs'''.

Click on '''MikTeX2.9'''

|-
| Right-click '''TeXworks''' >> Run as Administrator
|Right click on '''TeXworks''' and choose '''Run as Administrator'''

This will launch the '''TeXworks''' editor with '''administrator''' privileges.

|-
|Click on File>> Open>> beamer.tex
| Now click on '''File.'''

Then click on '''Open'''

Choose the file '''beamer.tex'''

|-
|Press Ctrl+T keys
| Press '''Ctrl''' and '''t''' keys together to start the compilation.

|-
| Dialog box
|A '''Package Installation '''dialog box will open.

It will ask to install the missing package '''beamer.cls. '''

|-
|Click Change
| Click on '''Change '''button on this dialog box.

|-
| Dialog box
|'''Change Package Repository '''dialog box will open.

|-
|Choose as told
| Choose the option '''Packages shall be installed from the internet option.'''

|-
|Click Connection Settings
| Click on '''Connection Settings.'''

|-
|
| It will prompt you to configure the '''proxy''' settings.

|-
| Point to '''Use proxy server '''option
|If you are not on a '''proxy''' network then leave the '''Use proxy server checkbox''' unchecked.

|-
| Click on the checkbox
|Since i am on a '''proxy''' network, i will enable the option by clicking on the checkbox

|-
|Type proxy address
| I will enter the '''proxy''' address.

|-
|Type the port number
| I will enter '''proxy''' port number.

|-
|Click on '''Authentication required '''checkbox
| I will enable the option '''Authentication required '''by clicking on the corresponding checkbox

|-
|Click OK>>Next
| Click on '''Ok'''. And then click on '''Next'''

|-
|
| It will ask me the '''proxy username '''and''' password.'''

|-
|Enter proxy>>OK
| I will enter the information and click on '''OK'''.

|-
|Choose one repository >> Finish
| It will show a list of various remote package repositories.

Choose one from the list and click on '''Finish.'''

|-
|Click Install
| Click on '''Install'''.

It will install the '''beamer.cls '''package

|-
|Dialog box
| Once again the '''Package Installation '''dialog box will open.

|-
| Point to '''pgfcore.sty'''
|It will prompt to install the missing package '''pgfcore.sty.'''

|-
| Uncheck the checkbox
|You may uncheck the option '''Always show this dialog before installing packages'''.

If you do this, '''MikTeX''' will not prompt you again, if it encounters a missing package.

|-
| Click Install
|Click on '''Install.'''

|-
|
|Now if there any more missing packages, it will automatically install it, without asking for your permission.

|-
| Point to the output side.
|Once the installation completes, it will finish the compilation and open the '''pdf''' output.

We can see that we have successfully compiled a '''Beamer''' document.

|-
|Click on Start >>All programs >>'''MikTeX'''>> Maintenance(Admin) >> Package Manager(Admin)

| Now let us see the second method of installing missing packages.

Click on the '''Windows''' start button.

Click on '''All Programs'''.

Click on '''MikTeX2.9'''

Click on '''Maintenance (Admin)'''

Cick on '''Package Manager (Admin)'''

|-
|
| It will show a list of various packages available

Now let us take a look at this list.

|-
| Point to the columns
|There are six columns in this list.

These are '''Name, Category, Size, Packaged date, Installed on date''' and '''Title'''.

|-
|
|The '''Installed on''' column is very important to us.

|-
| Point to the blank column entries
|The packages for which this column is blank indicates that these packages are not installed.

|-
|
|Let us see how to install a particular package.

|-
|check this step of proxy authentication
| Let me choose the package '''abc''', for example.

|-
| Point to the plus button
|Notice that the moment I choose the package, the '''plus''' button on the top left side gets enabled.

|-
| Click on the plus button
|The '''plus''' button is the '''install''' button.

Click on the '''plus''' button.

|-
|
|A window will open which will list the number of packages you have chosen to install or uninstall.

|-
| Click Proceed
|Click on '''Proceed'''.

|-
| Proxy dialog box
|Since I have configured a '''proxy''' network connection, it will prompt me for the '''proxy username''' and '''password'''.

|-
| Type proxy
|Let me type my '''username''' and '''password'''

|-
| Click Ok
|Click on '''Ok'''

|-
|Window

| A window will open which will show the download progress of the package selected for installation.

It may happen that it fails to download the requested package due to remote server connectivity issues.

In that case, change the package repository and try again.

|-
| Click Close
|We can see that the installation of selected package is completed.

Click on '''Close'''.

|-
| Point to the entry
|The package list will get refreshed.

Notice that 11 september 2013 appears in the '''Installed''' '''on''' column for package '''abc.'''
