[lug] LUG Digest, Vol 188, Issue 1

[Evelyn Mitchell]

I usually install texlive, which includes revtex 4.1 in texlive-publishers
https://www.tug.org/texlive/
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/425732/how-to-install-revtex-into-texlive

These days, I've been very happy with cocalc.com as an environment for
doing math development. It is available as a container, which you can
run locally, or you can run it free in the cloud (on tiny resources), or
pay for modest but reasonable compute upgrades.

It includes a full TeX environment, and can run x11 applications, in the
browser
using xpra.

It's a project by the Sagemath team. Saves me a lot of time.
