LaTeX LaTeX Troubleshooting: How to Display Work Out

[DrummingAtom]

So, I just started using LaTeX but can't get it to display any of my work out. How do I do this?

I downloaded LyX and TeXworks, there's a bunch of different downloads. I was a little confused on which one to pick. Thanks for your help.

No idea. But I am more than sure that even people that may know something won't be able to help as long as you will not state at least OS that you use.

Whoops. =) Windows.

Whoops. =) Windows.

I'm not an expert on the various packages available. However, I had good luck with MikTeX. It was available on Mac and Windows and had a simple to use front end window with editors and various viewers.

For ease of viewing on your machine, you'll need something like pdflatex, which can create a pdf file from your latex file. As elect_eng said, I personally use Miktex as the backend for my LEd install. From there, I have a nice button at the top, which will compile the document and output to pdf.

Have you been able to properly install? What exact problem are you having?
