LaTeX on BFH Windows

Warning

Avoid working on LaTeX documents located on the BFH network drive, as the building times increase immesurably. We recommand to work on a local drive instead.

If you use a computer with a BFH Windows installation, all required applications are packaged and available via the Software Center. Search for Software Center if you didn’t use it before and click the application icon to start it.
