Windows Installation

Download

TexGen is hosted on sourceforge and the latest version can be downloaded downloaded here. Download the latest executable named texgen-3.x.x.exe.

Installation

Prerequisites

Before installing TexGen you will need to download and install version 2.5 of Python which can be downloaded here. Install it anywhere on your hard disk it doesn't matter.

Install

Run texgen-3.x.x.exe and follow the on screen instructions. During the installation you will be asked to specify where Python has been installed. The installer should detect this automatically if all goes well, if not you must specify the directory manually. This is necessary because TexGen will install an extension module in the Python directory. This is so that Python scripts can be executed from anywhere on the system. Since the TexGen graphical user interface also relies on the Python interface to function, it will not work unless this step is completed correctly.

Running

If TexGen has successfully been installed you should be able to run it from the start menu:

Start -> Programs -> TexGen -> TexGen
