    Problem: it`s needed to quickly and simply make scientific articles, books, monographs and practically all that have many formulas and graphs.
    Solve: installation LaTeX in Debian -- a work of a moment.

    In UNIX-like systems packages for LaTeX called tetex or texlive. So, let`s open terminal and type as root:

    #aptitude install tetex-bin tetex-extra latex-ucs

    This will occupy about 120Mb of disk space, let`s approve it. For installation, only first DVD-disk is required. While packages are installing, let`s open your preferable text editor and type something like this:

    

documentclass[a4paper, 12pt]{article}
usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
usepackage[english]{babel}
usepackage[pdftex,unicode]{hyperref}

begin{document}
This is our first LaTeX document.
end{document}

    Saving this document with any name and *.tex extension, for example newlatexdoc.tex
    Next in console, in that directory were you just saved already typed text, give a command:

    $ pdflatex newlatexdoc.tex

    Besides many files, will be sought-for file newlatexdoc.pdf
    That`s all, and you already stared in great world of LaTeX.
