This is some notes I’ve learnt after hours and hours trying to figure out how Tex/LaTex works! I found it very hard to find a beginner’s guide, so I decided to write down what I’ve learnt in the simplest way I can explain. Continue reading “Getting started with Tex/Latex on Mac/Linux”
Install Tex on CentOS linux
Actually it’s pretty easy with Yum group install, a lot of people didn’t even notice this
1 | $ sudo yum groupinstall "Tex Support" |

Sometimes you also need dvipng to compile Tex into PNGs
1 | $ sudo yum install dvipng |
Something about yum groups
if you want to see what packages is in this group, you can run:
1 | $ sudo yum groupinfo "Tex Support" |
If you want to see what other Package groups in yum, you can run
1 | $ yum grouplist |
