Title: lyx.tcz Description: LyX is a document processor. Version: 2.0.4 Author: LyX Team Original-site: http://www.lyx.org Copying-policy: GPL-2 Size: 13M Extension_by: Arslan S. Tags: LyX is a document processor. Comments: LyX combines the power and flexibility of TeX/LaTeX with the ease of use of a graphical interface. LyX needs a full TeX distribution to generate DVI,PDF,PS outputs. A full Tex Live installation takes about 2G disk space. So instead of an installation use iso/DVD option. To summarize things to do: 1) Download texlive20xx.iso from http://tug.org/texlive/acquire-iso.html 2) Burn it with a DVD or Mount texlive20xx.iso 4) cd to DVD/iso root and Run tl-portable 5) Run lyx in the same terminal 6) Tools->Reconfigure 7) Restart LyX LyX needs more than Tex Live for full functionality. Here are some suggested extensions: Image converter --> ImageMagick, GraphicsMagick Spell checker --> ispell, aspell, hunspell DVI viewer --> xdvi (available with TeX Live) PDF viewer --> xpdf, epdfview, gsview, evince, okular, foxit, adobe acrobat PS viewer --> gsview, evince, okular For more information see: http://www.lyx.org/AdditionalSoftware Note: Installing these programs is not enough usually. You have to specify appropriate commands to invoke them in Tools->Preferences For example if you installed GraphicsMagick as image converter Go to Tools->Preferences->File Handling->Converters add from PNG format to EPS format with command 'gm convert $$i $$o' For file viewers, Tools->Preferences->File Handling->File formats Choose a file format and type correct program name inside textbox 'Viewer' Change-log: 2009/10/29 First Version 2009/12/13 Updated to 1.6.5 2010/08/26 Updated to 1.6.7 2010/11/16 Updated to 1.6.8 2011/02/07 Updated to 1.6.9 2011/09/15 Updated to 2.0.1 Current: 2012/07/21 Updated to 2.0.4
