[ Ubuntu-BD ] Some questions

[Nasimul Haque]

Are you sure, you have a linux version of MikTeX? I have never heard
of that. Maybe you are talking aboutf TeXLive, no? However, make sure
you have a linux version of any TeX distribution. Then install it.
Then in the command line try to run latex, pdflatex etc. If these
commands are found, then you do not have to configure anything. Kile
will find the latex. On the other hand, if the commands are not found,
which I assume very unlikely. Look for the folder where your latex
binary is installed. Let's say it's installed in the
/usr/local/texlive/bin folder. Then in your home folder open or create
a .bash_profile file. And add the following line -

export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/bin:$PATH

from now on, kile should find latex, bibtex, pdflatex etc. If not,
then you need to configure the kile itself. Goto Settings > Configure
Kile. In the Latex > General tab fill out the TEXINPUTS and others
with the name of the installed directory. There you have it. If it
still does not work. Try to install texlive from repository.

You do not need the whole texlive distribution. So installing kile
from the repository is enough. You can install your required latex
packages later. If you run

sudo apt-get install kile

you'll get an out of the box latex environment. And it's not very
large. This is the best way to use latex in Ubuntu. I'd recommend try
this. Just run it, before accepting to install you'll see how much
download is needed. You can decide then if you want to download and
install or not.
