CS 430 LaTeX Template
01/28/2025

You may use an online web-based LaTeX system (like Overleaf), use LaTeX in the campus
labs and classrooms, or install it on your personal system.

If you choose to use a web based LaTeX system, I recommend: https://www.overleaf.com
Overleaf is free for a basic account which will do everything you need for CS 430.
Also note that the machines in the math lab and Keller labs have MikTex installed.

If you choose to install it on your personal system: Linux, BSD, and MS-Windows
all have packages for LaTeX. Use the native *nix tools to install packages, for example
"sudo apt install texlive" on Ubuntu.

MS Windows users should install MikTeX from this web page: https://miktex.org/download/

** Basic MikTeX if fine, but notice there are 32 bit and 64 bit versions.

You'll also need a PDF reader (Acrobat, xpdf, KPDF, etc.).

Apple Mac users should install MacTeX from this web page: https://www.tug.org/mactex/

Any text editor will work on TeX files (they are source code after all).
MikTex includes TeXWorks which is like an IDE for LaTeX.
