Begin LaTeX in minutes
This is a good beginner doc.<p>I&#x27;d never used LaTeX until about a year ago when I needed it to write a paper. The first thing I wondered was how to install it. Surely in 2015 installation would be a snap. It&#x27;d be in the App Store. Or Homebrew.<p><i>Do not install LaTeX.</i> Use it in the cloud. I use www.overleaf.com which is awesome. Similarly, I use www.draw.io to create PDFs for my drawings.<p><pre><code>  \usepackage{microtype}
  \usepackage[hang,font=bf]{caption}
  \usepackage{natbib}
  \usepackage[unicode=true]{hyperref}
  \usepackage[noabbrev,capitalise,nameinlink]{cleveref}
  \usepackage{amsmath}
  \usepackage{csquotes}
  \usepackage{minted}
  \usepackage{inconsolata}
  \usemintedstyle{bw}
  \usepackage{float}
  \usepackage{siunitx}
  \usepackage{booktabs}
  \usepackage{url}
  \usepackage{graphicx}
  \usepackage{textcomp}
  \usepackage{fixltx2e}
</code></pre>
The one thing I&#x27;d add to this tutorial is citations and bibliographies.
