On macOS you want to download and install MacTeX.
TeX sub-folder will be
created with TeXShop inside it. This programme can be
used for creating LaTeX documents.pdflatexpdftexlatexlualatexOnce done, LaTeX should also work from inside Sublime Text: open or
create a TEX file (with the .tex extension) and press
Ctrl+B to build a PDF.
1. Install LaTeX
Before you can use LaTeX in Sublime Text you need to have it installed on your computer:
$ sudo apt install texlive-latex-baseYou can check that it has worked by running the following in the terminal:
$ latex --version
$ pdflatex --version
$ lualatex --version
$ bibtex --versionEach of the above should return a block of text with version, author and license information.
Another way to check that it has worked is to actually create and compile a document:
$ echo '\documentclass{article}\begin{document}Hello, World!\end{document}' > test.tex
$ pdflatex test.texNext, install some extra things that are missing from the base LaTeX installation:
$ sudo apt install dvipng
$ sudo apt install texlive-latex-extra
$ sudo apt install texlive-fonts-recommended
$ sudo apt install texlive-pictures
$ sudo apt install texlive-extra-utils
$ sudo apt install texlive-font-utils # Needed for eps figures to work
$ sudo apt install latexmk # Needed for running LaTeX in Sublime Text
$ sudo apt install texlive-lang-greek # Needed for the textgreek package
$ sudo apt install cm-super # Needed for using LaTeX in Matplotlib plot labels2. Install the Sublime Text Extensions for LaTeX
Specifically, install the LaTeXTools package for Sublime Text:
Check that it has worked by opening a LaTeX file (one with the
.tex extension) in Sublime Text and compiling it:
.tex file doesn’t open in Sublime Text:
.tex files,
right-click > Properties (keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+I) > Open With
> select Sublime Text > Set as default.tex files with LaTeX. Go to Tools > Build
System > LaTeX and try to Build it again. If this works, remember to
change the Build System back to automatic (Tools > Build System >
Automatic).xelatex and
biber are missing and if display_log is false,
but everything else should be there and be green.Note that if you have a bibliography you need to copy the bibstyle
file (eg apa.bst) into the working directory.
To see all the keyboard shortcuts that will work when a
.tex file is open and active, go to Preferences >
Package Settings > LaTeXTools > Key Bindings - Default. Probably
the most useful is the shortcut that will display the word count:
Ctrl+L, W
3. Installing LaTeX Packages
.sty file or as a
.zip file. If the latter, unzip it and run LaTeX on the
.ins file which will create the .sty file:
cd into the unzipped folder and
run:$ latex {package_name}.ins.sty file to the following directory:
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex. This can be done with:$ sudo mv {package_name}.sty /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/{package_name}.sty.sty file into might not be searched by default,
the ls-R file must be updated to make the system aware of the new
package:$ sudo mktexlsrCheck that it has worked by opening a LaTeX file and adding
\usepackage{} to the preamble with your new package’s name
between the curly brackets and compiling it.
