MiKTeX: File 'memoir.cls' not found. MikTeX package manager disappeared in Windows 10. Download ChkTeX from chktex/. Untar the archive, e.g. Double-click it in the Finder, and move the resulting folder to a place of your liking (for example, /Applications/ChkTeX/ ). Open the Terminal application. In the Terminal 'cd' to the directory were.

I am very new to using VS Code and am very lost in it. I would like to edit and preview tex documents in VSC like I can on overleaf.

I Installed LaTeX Workshop through VSC, but I can't see any preview.For my LaTeX Compiler output, I get latexmk: The script engine could not be found.latexmk: Data: scriptEngine='perl.exe', scriptName='latexmk'I also get No PDF viewer connectedin the LaTeX Workshop output.I'm totally lost when it comes to installing packages and having all my paths in order and everything like that, and none of the setup guides for LaTeX Workshop are very helpful for me. Font serial number. I've used TeX in Overleaf and I think I have MikTeX which I used for graphics in python.I would really appreciate any help in getting me on my way in this. Let me know what I should try, what information you need.

Ok you seem to have the basics, so we dont spend all day line by line, I suggest look at recent threads about updating MiKTeX if you have problems ensuring all packages are up to date (use the tasks drop down to synchronise filenames etc.) Unfortunately I don't use VScode but I can possibly help with the pdf part, However I suggest in MiKTeX console you have a TeXworks editor with pdf viewer so see how that may help you test some basic latex code. Add any info on PDF viewers to your main question– user170109 Nov 29 '18 at 13:04. Spuds hopefully by now with an updated MiKTeX you have been able to run some latexmk code without error. You did not say if you had a single or dual install but if simply starting MiKTeX-console tells you to switch to admin then you need to update both levels and run tasks at both levels. Did you find TeXworks any use? You can write files in vscode and compile in TeXworks.

If you are sticking with vscode for compiling you may need add synctex to the MiKTeX folder is fairly simple as described on web site– user170109 Nov 29 '18 at 15:25. I faced some difficulties in configuring and I decided to do this tutorial.

In fact, it would be easier to download MacTex, which is the full version; however, I was not in the mood to occupy 4GB of my SSD with this.The tutorial is pretty basic anyway, so have patience.Important: I assume that: (1) BasicTex is already installed on your Mac and LaTex Workshop is installed in the VS Code, and (2) there are not any of the required packages. Download Packages Configuring TeX Live ManagerWe will use TeX Live Manager to install the packages. It is accessible via tlmgr command1) Open Terminal on your Mac2) Type sudo tlmgr update -self to update the TeX Live Manager itself3) Once the process is complete, we will update all packages already installed by BasicTex. To do so, type sudo tlmgr update -all Installing PackagesNow we will install the necessary packages. They are: latexmk, latexindent, synctext, chktex and texcount. I will not show the installation of all the packages because the process is exactly identical, having only to substitute the name of what I am going to use of example (the chktex) by the others.1) At the Terminal, type sudo tlmgr install chktex.

Wait for the installation to be completed. Usually the dynamic is as follows: MacBook-Pro: gabriel $ sudo tlmgr install chktexPassword:tlmgr: package repository (not verified: gpg unavailable)1/2,??:?? /??:?? install: chktex.x8664-darwin 54k2/2, 00: 01/00: 01 install: chktex 10krunning mktexlsr.done running mktexlsr.tlmgr: package log updated: /usr/local/texlive/2018basic/texmf-var/web2c/tlmgr.log2) Repeat this for all packages3) To check where each package is installed, use the which packagename command, for example which chktex. In my case, the answer comes: MacBook-Pro-of-Gabriel: gabrielsalgueiro $ which chktex/Library/TeX/texbin/chktexConfiguring in VS Code Configuring the paths1) Open your VS Code and go to the Commands tab (Cmd + Shift + P generally), and open the settings by typing Preference: Open Settings2) In the window that appears, locate the Extensions tab. Click and find LaTex3) Fill in the required fields with the paths discovered in the previous step.

Just go down the page you will see where it should fill with the paths. The default is Packagename: Path Generating Files1) Configured all, go test. Open the.tex file.2) Build (Cmd + Option + B, by default).3) View the result (Cmd + Option + V, by default)3.1) If all goes well, it will ask where you want to view the PDF (browser, in a new tab, or even in an external viewer). Select your option and be happy.Q.

Remember to use a folder that does not have restricted characters. Defining the workspace inside the 'Documents' folder solves this problem, for example. You'll need the latexmk package from the MikTeX Console and the Perl language interpreter. Since Perl is easier to set up, let's do that first. Simply go to site and download the latest version of Perl. I'd recommend ActiveState Perl (it's easier to set up, I hear).Next, you need the latexmk package. This is also easy to get.

Go to your MikTeX Console, and since you'll be getting a package, run in Admin mode. Once there, go to the Packages tab on the left-hand side of the console window, and in the Search box, type latexmk. You'll see the package in the results menu - it's recognizable by MikTeX, but isn't installed yet. Install the package, and restart your VS Code application.As for the PDF viewer problem, once a.tex file is saved, said file is automatically compiled, and the PDF is ready to be viewed in the VS Code application.

Click the leftmost button in the upper right side of the application, just below the Windows minimize icon.

Linter-chktex packageThis Atom package provides a interface for the LaTeX chktex utility. It provides real-time stylistic suggestions as you write.Installation. Install chktex if it is not already installed. Chktex is installed by default with, but you may have to install it separately with other distributions. apm install linter-chktex. If chktex is not in your PATH, you will need to set the executablePath to point to the chktex executable (see below).SettingsYou can configure linter-chktex by editing /.atom/config.cson (choose Open Your Config in Atom menu). If you want to pass additional command line arguments to chktex (for example, to enable or disable specific checks), you can do so using the chktexArgs setting.
