Software requirements
In order to use AUCTeX the following software is required in addition:
-
A recent version of Emacs:
Using preview-latex requires a version of Emacs compiled with image support. This means that Emacs 21 will work only in the version for X11. In general Emacs 22 and later is the better choice. An overview of precompiled Emacs versions can be found at the Emacs Wiki.
-
A TeX system:
A popular TeX system for Mac OS X is MacTeX which is based on TeX Live.
-
Ghostscript for generating PostScript and other output. Required by preview-latex.
