![]() Fixing PATH issuesĮxecutables like luatex have been installed in ~/bin. This will help you to keep your TeX installation as minimal as possible ( “Just enough TeX”). Please be aware that this starts a ~200MB download.Īlternatively, you can turn on the auto-install feature and let MiKTeX install missing packages on-the-fly. If you have just installed MiKTeX, then you have the option to upgrade your installation to a standard TeX system. If this is the case and if you expect that some of your users would like to work with MiKTeX, then you should install MiKTeX system-wide.Ĭlick one of the two buttons if you have made your decision. The second option makes sense if you are the administrator of a multi-user system. You probably want to choose the first option. Click the MiKTeX Console icon in Launchpad to start MiKTeX Console:ĭo you want to set up a private (for you only) TeX installation, or do you want to set up a shared (system-wide) TeX installation? ![]() Finishing the setupīefore you can use MiKTeX, you have to finish the setup.

Two weeks ago, I had to remove MiKTeX from my colleague’s computer because it was not installing a package that was not present in the local distribution (and biber could not be run or reinstalled at all) because she had to turn her thesis in the next day in TeXLive, everything was working as smoothly as it gets. MiKTeX is unofficial, and sometimes breaks on Windows-quite rarely, but seriously enough to bring your work to a halt. Besides that-and I cannot emphasise it enough-in 4 years, I have encountered many cryptic errors that were MiKTeX-specific on various colleagues’ computers that could not be replicated in TeXLive or Overleaf (that is using TeXLive). TeXMaker is becoming a thing of the past-compared to it, TeXStudio provides more features (in small things like dark theme support, or document parsing for better structure view, or better paragraph rewrapping etc.) and is being more actively developed. I would actually suggest two equivalent alternatives.
