Miktex for Debian Stable Squeeze?

patrick295767 · 10-22-2012, 03:12 PM

Hi

I was wondering why miktex is missing in the Squeeze repositories.

How would you install http://miktex.org/ word processing under Debian Squeeze?

How did he do that since there is nothing in the main repositories?

Thanks

Probably because Debian does not satisfy the operating system requirements according to http://docs.miktex.org/2.9/manual/installing.html

Prerequisites

MiKTeX 2.9 requires one of the following Windows operating systems:

Windows 7

Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 (all editions except Starter Edition)

Windows XP with Service Pack 3 (all editions except Starter Edition)

Windows Server 2008 R2

Windows Server 2008 with Service Pack 2

Windows Server 2003 R2

Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2

Please note that MiKTeX 2.9 does not work on legacy Windows platforms (Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000).

You can try running it with Wine?

Under Wine, thanks anyhow.

Miketex is really better and more comfortable to use than Latex (LINUX). Miktex can compile tex to pdf, - all of them, since it downloads automatically what it needs.

Linux should really think about porting this Miketex for Debian.

Thanks

Not enough details to help you troubleshoot, sorry.

Not according to packages.ubuntu.com, sorry. I think you will need to bite the bullet and read the developer's install instructions...
