Installing
Like Linux, LaTeX is a collection of many interdependent tools and files. Rather than find and install them all you use a LaTeX distribution. LaTeX distributions in the Ubuntu repositories are:
- TeX Live
- teTeX
Note that since May 2006 teTeX is no longer supported. See this page for the official statement: [1]. Some of the teTeX packages in Ubuntu's repositories are transitionary packages to TeX Live.
TeX Live
One LaTeX distribution you can install is TeX Live. TeX Live has a more comprehensive selection of LaTeX tools than teTeX but takes up more space. It is also a newer addition to Ubuntu than teTeX. It is available for Ubuntu from version 6.10 and is in the Universe repository.
To install TeX Live, install texlive. This will install a basic subset of TeX Live's functionality. To install the complete TeX Live distribution, install texlive-full.
teTeX
teTeX was a common LaTeX distribution for Linux. This is in the Main and Universe Ubuntu repositories and can be installed with synaptic or apt-get. At a minimum you will need to install the packages tetex-base, and tetex-bin. Extra packages for teTeX can be found in tetex-extra.
Add on packages
LaTeX can be extended using add on packages. Packages can either be installed using Ubuntu's packaging system, or by manually copying the files to the respective locations.
Installing packages manually
<<Anchor(manualpkginstall)>>
If a package you desire is not in Ubuntu's repositories, you may look on CTAN's web site or TeX Catalogue Online to see if they have the package. If they do, download the archive containing the files. In this example, we'll install example package foo, contained in foo.tar.gz.
Once foo.tar.gz has finished downloading, we unzip it somewhere in our home directory:
tar xvf foo.tar.gz
This expands to folder foo/. We cd into foo/ and see foo.ins. We now run LaTeX on the file:
latex foo.ins
This will generate foo.sty. We now have to copy this file into the correct location. For the purposes of this example, we will copy this into our personal texmf tree. The advantages of this solution are that if we migrate our files to a new computer, we will remember to take our texmf tree with us, resulting in keeping the same packages we had. The disadvantages are that if multiple users want to use the same packages, the tree will have to be copied to each user's home folder.
We'll first create the necessary directory structure:
cd ~ mkdir -p texmf/tex/latex/foo
Notice that the final directory created is labeled foo. It is a good idea to name directories after the packages they contain. The -p attribute to mkdir tells it to create all the necessary directories, since they don't exist. Now, using either the terminal, or the file manager, copy foo.sty into the directory labeled foo.
Now, we must make LaTeX recognize the new package:
texhash ~/texmf
The new package should now be installed. To use it in your LaTeX document, merely insert \usepackage{foo} in the preamble.
Tips & Tricks
Inverse Search
<<Anchor(InverseSearch)>>
Inverse search is a feature where a mouse click in the DVI viewer can open an editor with the corresponding place in the (La)TeX source (also called "reverse search"). In xdvi, the default is Ctrl-Left click. In kdvi, Middle click is the default. For information see [2].
Emacs and xdvi
Add the following line to the file .emacs in your home directory:
(server-start)
Add the following line to .Xresources
xdvi.editor: emacsclient --no-wait +%l %f
Now run in the terminal:
xrdb .Xresources
Common between Emacs/xdvi and Kile/kdvi
We will need to have a specific LaTeX package in place to enable this feature. Download and install the LaTeX package srcltx. There is help on installing a LaTeX package manually.
Once srcltx is installed, you need to include it in your LaTeX file. Put \usepackage[active]{srcltx} in the preamble of your LaTeX document.
