-To start writing Latex documents, you two things. A Latex ''compiler'' (this is a set of programs and files that allow you to generate pdfs from a Latex file), and a Latex ''editor'' (you can use a plain text editor, but an editor designed for Latex will have many more handy features). There are a few different Latex compilers and editors. The instructions below are to install the texlive compiler and texmaker editor.
