Parth (parthkohli):

I just downloaded TeXMaker and wrote a small document. ``` \documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \author{Parth Kohli} \begin{document} Hello \end{document} ``` I clicked on quick build and it gives me the error: ``` Error: Could not start the command. ``` My settings are alright.

Parth (parthkohli):

Do I need any other packages for implementing LaTeX?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

it complied for me on the first try

Parth (parthkohli):

No, I meant it isn't implementing on my end. What software do you use?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i use TeX Shop,

Parth (parthkohli):

So you didn't have to download anything other than that, yes?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i have downloaded some extra packages over the years , but i dont think the ones you are using require additional downloads

Parth (parthkohli):

Hmm.

Parth (parthkohli):

It gives me the error "log file not found".

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

does , just ``` \documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article} %\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} %\usepackage{amsmath} %\usepackage{amsfonts} %\usepackage{amssymb} \author{Parth Kohli} \begin{document} Hello \end{document} ``` compile?

Parth (parthkohli):

Oh, I need to download MikTeX too.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

if you want an online editor just go to ` https://www.writelatex.com/977379fbsxqw#/2256476/ `

Parth (parthkohli):

For some reason, I like offline. :)

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yeah i prefer offline too

Parth (parthkohli):

Thanks for helping.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

have you got TeX Maker to compile yet?

Parth (parthkohli):

MikTeX getting installed.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i haven't used {inputenc} package before , maybe that requires some download

Parth (parthkohli):

Yeeee, compiled!

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

Hurrah !
