First you will want to install “Ubuntu” for Windows. You download this from the Microsoft Store. While this process can be somewhat complex, however, following the prompts will get you there.

At some point it will ask you for a username and password. Choose a username that is reasonable, and a password that you can type when needed (it doesn’t need to be super secret).

Once it is installed you will see something like:

your-user-name@your-computers-name:~$

Now lets keep your computer up-to-date:

sudo apt update
 
sudo apt upgrade

Now we need to install some software:

sudo apt install texlive-full

Install ximeraLaTeX

This can be done by going to XimeraProject/ximeraLatex GitHub page, and scrolling down to the directions for your particular platform.

Install xake

Xake is Ximera’s version of “make” and it converts the LATEX source into HTML.
