- For a quite complete LaTeX installation, run also "sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-recommended texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-extra texlive-humanities texlive-math-extra texlive-pictures".
- Run "Text Editor" from the menu (or "gedit" in the terminal), select the menu item "Edit / Preferences", activate "LaTeX Plugin" in the "Plugins" tab, then quit the text editor.
- Open the file manager, right-click on a LaTeX file, select "Properties", and pick "Text Editor" for "Open With".
- Double-click a LaTeX file in the file manager to see if it works.
