| 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. |
| 10:02 | Write basic LaTeX document using TeXworks. |
| 10:06 | Configure MikTeX to download missing packages in 2 different ways. |
