Revision as of 13:13, 20 October 2014
TexGen is hosted on Sourceforge and the latest version can be downloaded here. From version 3.6.0 the default Windows download is the 64-bit version. Select "Browse All Files" on the download page to see all download options, including the 32-bit version.
Which version?
As of version 3.2.0 you have a choice between two versions: texgen-3.x.x.exe and texgen-bundle-3.x.x.exe. TexGen requires the Python interpreter to be installed in order to run. The standard installation package named texgen-3.x.x.exe does not include Python and must be installed manually. The bundle installation package comes with the Python interpreter which means that it does not need to be installed manually.
As of version 3.5.2 a 64 bit build of the bundled version is also available.
If you don't know what Python is or you won't be using it for anything other than TexGen then the bundle package is recommended. For experienced users, the standard installation package is preferable since it will integrate itself with an existing python installation giving existing Python scripts access to TexGen.
