MiKTeX and proTeXt

Hi,

I try to install MiKTeX and LEd. I tested the compilation and try to check the PDF file but it doesn't work. I get information about latex/memoir/memoir.cls needed to be installed and I have no idea what to do with that. I have different versions - at the moment I have MiKTeX 2.8 and LEd 0.53 installed. Maybe you can advice what to do.

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Just install the memoir class by the MiKTeX Package Manager (MPM)[1]. That's all. An upgrade to MiKTeX 2.9 is advisable.

Thank you for the fast answer and warm welcome.
I have looked at the information and for me the most important seems to be this tip:

Create the root directory C:\Local TeX Files. - ok I make the new directory that is understood
Create the sub-directory tex\latex\misc and copy your input files (*.sty, *.cls) here. - I am not sure where I get these files from
Register the root directory (C:\Local TeX Files) in MiKTeX Options. - I have done it - the description is understood for me.

I have to do it manually because it doesn't install on its own.

I have chosen 2.8 because Led's list has only listing till 2.8.

I didn't suggest to try local additions that are not available via MPM. Therefore again the advice to just start the MPM and install the package directly from the package list. There is nothing to install manually.

It think that this editor is not the best choice. LEd hasn't seen any update for almost two years.

Which one would you suggest to use instead of Led?

With the suggested upgrade to MiKTeX 2.9 you will get the TeXworks editor with an integrated PDF viewer. It aims to produce PDF directly from your source and via SynTeX it supports forward and inverse search as you know it from DVI. It is very simple, thus it features not so much toolbars as other editors. But you are free to test any other editor listed in our »LaTeX Editors« sub-forum.

TexWorks has less options than Led but it is easier to work with it. Thank you for advice.
