When you `reconfigure` LyX (Tools -> Reconfigure) do you still have the
message after you restart LyX?

There's nothing that does not work correctly while following the video.
At that time, I also downloaded MikTex 2.9 and set it up.
After then, I deleted all of them, and set up TeXLive and LyX. Why I chose 
TeXLive is because I'm used to TeXLive, rather than MikTex.

After typing "where pdflatex," the command prompt shows:
C:\texlive\2017\bin\win32\pdflatex.exe

where the installation program of LyX chose as a path to latex.exe.

Jiwoong,

Please be sure to CC the mailing list so others are able to help also.

Yes, that video does show a very basic procedure.  It seems quite normal.  Is 
there anything that did not work correctly for you while following it?

If you have deleted both MikTeX and TeXLive and LyX, have you tried following 
the installation procedures again?

After you install MikTeX or TeXLive, open a Command Prompt (Start Menu -> 
cmd.exe) and type `where pdflatex`.  What does it show?

Thanks,
Joel

Jiwoong,

Your note at StackExchange that you followed Youtube.  Which video on
Youtube did you watch?  It would be good to try reproducing what you did to
see where it might have gone wrong.

Thanks,

P.S. I wonder if publishing a series of short LyX "how to install" videos
(one for each major OS) may be something that would be helpful for new
users...

LyX installation problems on Windows 10.

[수학과]

Dear LyX users,

Hi, my name is Jiwoong, and I am trying to install LyX, which is a typewriter 
program for LaTeX, but I'm having trouble doing it.

Really I tried tons of way to do this, but the error message is the same:

LyX: No textclass is found

LyX will only have minimal functionality because no textclasses have been 
found. You can either try to reconfigure LyX normally, try to reconfigure 
without checking your LaTeX installation, or continue.

(Press the button) Reconfigure (or) Without LaTeX (or) Continue

I posted the same question on the tex.stackexchange, and the below is the link:

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/482526/about-installing-lyx?noredirect=1#comment1220637_482526

Inspite of thankful comments, I cannot figure why the same problem happens, and 
I now became to ask a question to LyX users.

Are you saying that you want the LaTeX output to match what you see in

The latter.

Re: Trouble exporting multi-part documents

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Paul,

my understanding is that this is the intended behavior.

Child Documents are just that, Child Documents.

If you want a Child Document to be freestanding it must be surrounded at
the very least by something like


\documentclass{scrartcl}
\begin{document}
%[Child Document goes here]
\end{document}


And of course you must put the contents of the Master Document's
preamble into the Child Document for which I find it helpful to use 
something like

\input{include.tex}

in every Child Document's preamble anyway.

greetings, el

I have tried to do this on my 64 bit Win10 once, with cmake, Qt5 and etc., but 
was not successful.

I would be really interested in how this is done on different environments. If 
this is documented somewhere, I can try it on my PC.

I have a dissertation template for students at my University. There is a main 
thesis document and then the separate chapters are in subdirectories. 
(http://crmda.ku.edu/node/555)

Currently, in version, 
"KU-thesis-20190201.zip",
 it appears to work for everybody to use LyX to edit either the main document 
or the individual chapters.

However, I have students who want to use the dissertation template as raw 
LaTexX files, rather than within LyX.  Here I run into a bad problem.

In my 20190201 version, the people who want to edit the exported LaTeX file in 
raw LaTeX could not compile the document.  There's an error about commands in 
the chapter heading that are only allowed in the document preamble.  From that 
error message, I tracked back to changes I made and I understand what is going 
wrong.

If I start with the master document and do Export to LaTeX (pdflatex), the 
individual chapter .tex files are created.  They are not free-standing 
documents. At the top, there was no preamble. It starts in line 1 with the 
chapter name

\chapter{Elementary Regression}

and also the includegraphics lines have full project paths:

\includegraphics[width=4in]{Chapter2/importfigs/carinced}

Those chapters could not be compiled individually.

I thought I'd get around this problem by using LyX to individually exporting 
each separate chapter as a tex document. I did not realize that caused an 
entirely different export than I got by starting with the master document in 
LyX and doing export LaTeX(pdflatex).

My individually exported chapter files allows the users to edit the individual 
.tex chapters, but when they try to compile the master document, they get 
errors caused by the fact that the individual chapters have their own preambles 
AND the graphics paths are incorrect.

Because I individually exported the .tex files within the Chapter directories, 
then the master document level Export to LaTeX does not replace the existing 
chapters.  Thus I am allowed to zip up the directory and have a master document 
that does not compile because the child documents have preambles in them.

Now that I understand the problem, I wonder if other people have noticed this 
and if they have suggestions for a fix?

I wondered if perhaps we might have the necessary preamble created as a 
separate file in each chapter with some if/then magic in each chapter preamble 
to specify whether or not the master file is in control.

Some fix about the figure paths is necessary as well, I don't have a guess 
about that.

Hello,

I have recently developed a LyX template of our university graduate thesis from 
the LaTeX template (https://github.com/ituast/itutezLyX). I have checked the 
zip file you gave the link, and I can tell that the structure of the LyX files 
is very similar to what I did. I have encountered similar problems. We can find 
(or develop) solutions or procedures for these problems.

Including a LyX file within a master LyX file is different than including a 
LaTeX file within a master LaTeX file. Because in LyX, you can specify which 
preamble is to be used through the document settings. For LaTeX, there is no 
such thing, as it is a lower-level process of management/compilation, where the 
user has to handle everything.

As you have mentioned, when you export a LyX file to a LaTeX file, LyX always 
puts a preamble, which is smtg that you you may not want if the resulting LaTeX 
file is to be included in a master LaTeX file. The exporter may have an option 
to ignore the preamble. If you want to implement it, you may need to go the 
executable of the exporter and search through the command-line help using a 
help flag (--help, --? or smtg like that). On the other hand, you may still 
want to have a working preamble to be able to compile the individual LaTeX file 
to see the result immediately, before inserting it back to the LyX file. The 
problem with that is thesis class file may have a complicated structure, where 
you should have all major parts together, otherwise, an individual child file 
will not compile. So, in this case, it may be a good idea to compile it as a 
complete thesis, but to include the interested chapter only, which will make 
the compilation faster.

So the problem to me is very specific and isolated. In my case, what I did, I 
developed a unique procedure and tested it for each of this type of student 
request. Then asked the students to follow that unique procedure. In your case, 
we need to define clearly what exactly the students want to do. According to 
you mail, what I understood is this: The students want to be able to work on 
the child LyX files, by modifying the LaTeX
