Guide to getting LaTeX running on your computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux)!
1) Install TeX Live: Windows: download and run the install-tl.zip file from here (http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html) Macs: (http://www.tug.org/mactex/2011/) Linux (Ubuntu): use synaptic to install the texlive package
Note that the net installers look deceptively small is size, but the texlive folder on my windows machine is about 2.5 GB in size, so make sure you have HD space before you start!
2) Install a LaTeX editor. I use the cross-platform Texmaker (http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/)
3) Install REVTeX https://authors.aps.org/revtex4/
4) Get this example template: File:Advanced lab.tar
5) Configure Texmaker: go to toolbar, choose options/quick build/User, add the following text
latex -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex|bibtex %.aux|latex -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex|latex -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex|dvips -t letter %.dvi -o %.ps|ps2pdf -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress %.ps
