Install on Linux
MiKTeX is available for selected Linux distributions.
Installing MiKTeX on Linux involves these steps:
- Register the GPG key with which MiKTeX installation packages and metadata is signed. The key ID is:
D6BC243565B2087BC3F897C9277A7293F59E4889
- Register the installation source which contains the MiKTeX installation package. The installation source depends on the Linux distribution version.
- Use the package management system to install MiKTeX.
- Finish the setup.
- Upgrade your TeX distribution. This is an optional step.
Please click a tab to get instructions for your Linux distribution:

d. Finish the setup
Before you can use MiKTeX, you have to finish the setup. You can use MiKTeX Console or, if you prefer the command line,
Start MiKTeX Console to finish the setupmiktexsetup
.Search&click the
MiKTeX Console
icon to start MiKTeX Console:Now is the time to make a decision:
Do you want to set up a private (for you only) TeX installation, or do you want to set up a shared (system-wide) TeX installation?
You probably want to choose the first option.
The second option makes sense if you are the administrator of a multi-user system. If this is the case and if you expect that some of your users would like to work with MiKTeX, then you should install MiKTeX system-wide.
