Hello All!
I need to install LaTeX on a university computer (Windows XP) and so I have to run the install process by our administrator. Before I do so, want to make sure I have all the details. I planned on using MikTex and TeXnicCenter. I believe that I need:
1) To download and install MikTex from http://miktex.org/2.9/setup
2) To download and install TeXnicCenter from http://www.texniccenter.org/resources/downloads/29
Do I need to do any configuring between the two pieces of software? Or is it done automatically?
Also, it says that when you use a directive like \usepackage{memoir}, it will trigger the installer automatically and install the package at the time of first use. Do you think that this will be an issue if I do not have administrative rights to the computer? I hate to think that I will need to go get this guy every time I use a new directive
Any thoughts are helpful! Thanks!
