The description how to test your installation is only available in Windows: https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/sci-work-course/blob/master/doc/install-windows.md#test-installation . We should also describe these steps for the Mac and Linux environment.

Some info:

• https://pic-projekte.de/blog/sumatra-pdf-mit-texniccenter/
• https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/116981/how-to-configure-texniccenter-2-0-with-sumatra-2013-2016-version

but someone should try it out and give feedback. Ideally a pull request here could be done.

In TeXmaker 4.5 the Configure TeXmaker changed its position in the menu.

Any help would be welcome for that @stweil @jmechnich @JKamlah

Hi,
here's some advices.
I installed the mactex & texmaker with Homebrew

brew install mactex texmaker

And it told me that the formulas are found in a tap. Hence, it should be installed with Homebrew Cask:

brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask
brew cask install mactex texmaker

acroviewR17 instead of acroviewR15

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/250472/texniccenter-adobe-reader-dc/364613#364613

See #298

See http://www.bib.uni-mannheim.de/go-research.html for the current info about installation of LaTeX.

Moreover, we should rethink the place of the FAQs and also add this one: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/250472/texniccenter-adobe-reader-dc

https://medium.freecodecamp.org/5-github-tips-for-new-coders-2f312689ffd5

https://www.codeschool.com/courses/try-git

This is how the settings for Adobe Acrobat DC should look like

e.g. tex\context\base\supp-pdf.mkii package is needed for graphicx

If this installation fails from TeXnicCenter, then try to use the MiKTeX Package Manager (maybe also as Administrator), see

• http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/49338/miktex-2-9-install-packages-on-the-fly
• http://latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9034

The questions from the FAQs about LaTeX should be better moved here as another .md file from https://bib.uni-mannheim.de/index.php?id=1129

Hi, I've tried to install LaTeX to my mac, however the url for downloading dmg file does not work:

mactex installation is OK

However texmaker is not

m:~ mvlkova$ brew cask install texmaker

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
Error: Download failed on Cask 'texmaker' with message: Download failed: http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/assets/files/texmaker-5.0.1.dmg

How can I solve this?
