|-
| 00:01
| Dear Friends, Welcome to the spoken tutorial on '''“LaTeX on Windows using TeXworks”'''

|-
|00:06
| In this tutorial we will learn to, Download and install '''MikTeX''' .

|-
|00:12
| 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

|-
|00:34
|It has an embedded pdf reader

|-
|00:36
| It supports Indian language typesetting

|-
|00:40
| Before we start with '''TeXworks''', we have to install '''MikTeX'''.

|-
|00:45
|'''MikTeX''' is an up-to-date implementation of '''TeX/LaTeX''' and related programs for '''Windows'''.

|-
|00:52
|It contains the necessary packages to create basic documents in '''LaTeX '''on '''Windows''' ,Moreover, '''TeXworks''' is a default editor available with '''MikTeX''' installation.

|-
| 01:04
|Go to the website [http://www.miktex.org/ www.]'''miktex'''[http://www.miktex.org/ .org]

|-
|01:10
| Click on the download link for recommended '''MikTeX''' installer. This will download the '''MikTeX''' installer.

|-
| 01:19
|Download and save it on your '''Desktop.'''.

|-
|01:22
|It is a large file, about 154 mega bytes. Hence, it will take some time to download.

|-
|01:28
|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.

|-
| 01:44
|The installation will take around 5 to 10 minutes.

|-
|01:47
|I have already installed '''MikTeX''' on my computer. Hence I will not proceed with the installation.

|-
| 01:55
|After successfully installing '''MikTeX''' on your computer,

|-
|01:58
|let us see how to use the '''TeXworks''' editor which comes with '''MikTeX.'''

|-
|2:04
| Click on the '''Windows start''' button.

|-
|02:07
|Click on '''All Programs'''.

|-
|02:10
|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.

|-
|02:22
|I will click on '''File,''' then click on '''Open''' and choose the directory. Then I will open the file '''hello.tex'''.

|-
|02:33
| You can see that the text written in the file is colored.

|-
|02:38
|This is called '''syntax''' '''highlighting'''. 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'''.

|-
|02:59
| 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

|-
| 03:11
|On the '''menu''' bar, click on '''Edit''' and 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.'''

|-
| 03:27
|In this way, '''syntax''' '''highlighting''' will be applied to all documents created in the future.

|-
| 03:33
|Now we are ready to compile our '''LaTeX''' document.

|-
|03:37
| Press '''Ctrl''' and '''t''' keys together to start the compilation.

|-
|03:43
| 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''' documents.

|-
|04:00
|We have completed the basic installation of LATEX.

|-
|04:04
|This is sufficient for many formatting requirements.

|-
|04:07
|You may now leave this tutorial. Practice the remaining LATEX tutorials on the playlist

|-
|04:14
|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”'''

|-
|04:25
|Here ABC is a file inside the package XYZ

|-
|04:29
|ABC and XYZ will be specific to your case.

|-
| 04:33
|When you get such an error message, listen to the rest of this tutorial.

|-
|04:38
|Two ways to solve that problem are explained in the rest of this tutorial. At least one of them should work for you.

|-
|04:46
|Goodbye for now

|-
|04:48
|Do you want to know how to solve a problem of the following type: Listen to the rest of this tutorial and practise with me.

|-
|04:56
| Now let us compile a '''Beamer''' document.

|-
| 04:59
|Beamer package by default is not included in the '''MikTeX''' setup that we have installed.

|-
|05:05
|This means that we have to : download it from some source and add it to our current '''MikTeX''' distribution

|-
| 05:12
|There are two ways of installing a missing package.

|-
|05:16
|One way is to install it on the fly while we are compiling a '''LaTeX''' document

|-
|05:21
|This '''LaTeX''' document will typically require a package not available in your '''MikTeX''' distribution.

|-
|05:28
|Other way, is to manually choose and install a package using '''Package''' '''Manager''' of '''MikTeX'''.

|-
| 05:35
|Let us see the first method.

|-
|05:37
| We will open and compile a '''LaTeX''' document, which requires '''MikTeX''' to install packages from the '''internet'''.

|-
| 05:44
|First close the '''TeXworks''' editor.

|-
|05:48
| It is required that we open the '''tex''' file with administrator privileges.

|-
|05:53
|Click on the '''start''' button. Then click on '''All programs'''. Click on '''MikTeX2.9'''

|-
|06:02
|Right click on '''TeXworks''' and choose '''Run as Administrator'''

|-
|06:08
|This will launch the '''TeXworks''' editor with '''administrator''' privileges.

|-
|06:13
| Now click on '''File.''' Then click on '''Open''' Choose the file '''beamer.tex'''

|-
|06:21
| Press '''Ctrl''' and '''t''' keys together to start the compilation.

|-
|06:26
|A '''Package Installation '''dialog box will open.

|-
|06:30
|It will ask to install the missing package '''beamer.cls. '''

|-
|06:35
| Click on '''Change '''button on this dialog box.

|-
|06:40
|'''Change Package Repository '''dialog box will open.

|-
|06:44
| Choose the option '''Packages shall be installed from the internet.'''

|-
|06:49
| Click on '''Connection Settings.'''

|-
|06:52
| It will prompt you to configure the '''proxy''' settings.

|-
| 06:56
|If you are not on a '''proxy''' network then leave the '''Use proxy server checkbox''' unchecked.

|-
|07:03
|Since i am on a '''proxy''' network, i will enable the option by clicking on the checkbox

|-
|07:09
| I will enter the '''proxy''' address.

|-
|07:13
| I will enter '''proxy''' port number.

|-
|07:16
| I will enable the option '''Authentication required '''by clicking on the corresponding checkbox

|-
|07:23
| Click on '''Ok'''. And then click on '''Next'''

|-
|07:27
| It will ask me the '''proxy username '''and''' password.'''

|-
|07:31
| I will enter the information and click on '''OK'''.

|-
|07:36
| It will show a list of various remote package repositories.

|-
|07:41
|Choose one from the list and click on '''Finish.'''

|-
|07:45
| Click on '''Install'''.

|-
|07:48
|It will install the '''beamer.cls '''package

|-
|07:52
| Once again the '''Package Installation '''dialog box will open.

|-
|07:57
|It will prompt to install the missing package '''pgfcore.sty.'''

|-
|08:03
|You may uncheck the option '''Always show this dialog before installing packages'''.

|-
|08:09
|If you do this, '''MikTeX''' will not prompt you again, if it encounters a missing package.

|-
|08:16
|Click on '''Install.'''

|-
|08:18
|Now if there any more missing packages, it will automatically install it, without asking for your permission.

|-
|08:28
|Once the installation completes, it will finish the compilation and open the '''pdf''' output.

|-
|08:35
|We can see that we have successfully compiled a '''Beamer''' document.

|-
|08:39
| Now let us see the second method of installing missing packages.

|-
|08:44
|Click on the Windows '''start''' button.

|-
|08:47
|Click on '''All Programs'''.

|-
|08:49
|Click on '''MikTeX2.9'''

|-
|08:52
|Click on '''Maintenance (Admin)'''

|-
|08:55
|Cick on '''Package Manager (Admin)'''

|-
|09:00
| It will show a list of various packages available.

|-
|09:04
|Now let us take a look at this list.

|-
|09:07
|There are six columns in this list.

|-
|09:10
|These are '''Name, Category, Size, Packaged date, Installed on date''' and '''Title'''.

|-
|09:18
|The '''Installed on''' column is very important to us.

|-
|09:22
|The packages for which this column is blank indicates that these packages are not installed.

|-
|09:29
|Let us see how to install a particular package.

|-
|09:33
| Let me choose the package '''abc''', for example.

|-
|09:38
|Notice that the moment I choose the package, the '''plus''' button on the top left side gets enabled.

|-
|09:45
|The '''plus''' button is the '''install''' button. Click on the '''plus''' button.

|-
|09:50
|A window will open which will list the number of packages you have chosen to install or uninstall.

|-
|09:58
|Click on '''Proceed'''.

|-
|10:01
|Since I have configured a '''proxy''' network connection, it will prompt me for the '''proxy username''' and '''password'''.

|-
|10:08
|Let me type my '''username''' and '''password'''

|-
|10:11
|Click on '''Ok'''

|-
|10:13
| A window will open which will show the download progress of the package selected for installation.

|-
|10:20
|It may happen that it fails to download the requested package due to remote server connectivity issues.

|-
|10:26
|In that case, change the package repository and try again.

|-
|10:31
|We can see that the installation of selected package is completed.

|-
|10:36
|Click on '''Close'''.

|-
|10:38
|The package list will get refreshed.

|-
|10:41
|Notice that 11 september 2013 appears in the '''Installed''' '''on''' column for package '''abc.'''

|-
|10:49
| This completes the tutorial '''LaTeX on Windows using TeXworks'''

|-
|10:54
| In this tutorial we learnt to - Download and install '''MikTeX'''.

|-
| 10:59
|Write a basic '''LaTeX''' document using '''TeXworks'''

|-
|11:03
| Configure '''MikTeX''' to download missing packages in 2 different ways
