Ubuntu installation instructions for noobs #9

Closed Seanny123 closed 10 years ago

Seanny123 commented 10 years ago

After I couldn't get this package running for Windows, I switched to my Ubuntu partition and tried to run it with Gummi. No success. It throws an error before it can finish the build. I'm a noob to all this, so I'm probably missing something obvious. I've installed biber and a bunch of the TexLive packages. I'm not asking you to hold my hand here, but a quick link would be appreciated. Here's my build log:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (TeX Live 2013/Debian)

Realized that there are a bunch of Online Latex editors out there and that I should just be using those. Is it appropriate to mention in your docs? I don't know, it's up to you.
