As far as I know, if you don't think you need it, you don't. I've actually always installed it because I've always meant to get into it, but never have beyond playing with LyX.  |

If you don't know what it is, you won't need it. It is a publishing system mostly for scientific texts. Above that, it may be needed for processing some documentation (e.g. R) written in tex. Nothing to do with system, though.
Best,
Ott
