How to Install Latex AMS on Latex 1

[tgt]

Anyone downloaded Latex AMS? If so how do you install it? I've already got Latex 1 installed.

The latest version of AMSLaTeX will come installed with any moderately new installation of LaTeX. If it doesn't, for any reason, what part of the 'installation instructions' that are on that page don't you understand? If you really have 'LaTeX 1' installed, then get a new version since everyone else has been on 2 (or 2e) since 1994 or something.

Hi there,

Installing Latex AMS (American Mathematical Society) on Latex 1 is a simple process. Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Firstly, download the Latex AMS files from the official AMS website: http://www.ams.org/tex/amslatex.html. Make sure to choose the correct version for your operating system.

2. Once the files are downloaded, unzip them and navigate to the folder where they are saved.

3. Copy the .sty files and paste them into the "texmf/tex/latex" directory of your Latex 1 installation.

4. Next, run the command "texhash" in your terminal to update the Latex 1 file database.

5. Finally, you can use the Latex AMS packages in your Latex 1 documents by including the following command in your preamble: "\usepackage{amsmath, amsthm, amsfonts, amssymb}".

I hope this helps. Happy typesetting!
