About:
MiKTeX is a modern, scalable distribution of the TeX typesetting system for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It enables the creation of high-quality technical and scientific documents by providing a comprehensive set of compilers and tools. Its 'install on-the-fly' feature automatically downloads required packages as you compile, ensuring a lightweight initial setup.

Key Features:

Install missing packages automatically (on-the-fly)
Integrated editor (TeXworks) and compiler management
Small initial download with full extensibility
Cross-platform support (Windows, Linux, macOS)
Advanced package management via console and GUI

Use Cases:

Writing academic papers, theses, and dissertations
Typesetting complex mathematical formulas and equations
Generating professional scientific reports and technical documentation

Alternatives:

TeX Live – The standard cross-platform distribution; typically installed as a complete suite rather than on-the-fly.
MacTeX – The official TeX distribution for macOS, which includes MiKTeX and additional Mac-specific tools.
