What do I need to run LyX?
- Either of :
+ Either:
* a Unix-like system (including Windows with cygwin)
* Windows 2000 or newer
* Mac OS 10.2 or newer
A decent LaTeX2e installation (e.g. TeX Live for Linux, MikTeX for
Windows).
+
Python 2.3 or later to convert old LyX files and for helper scripts
(note that you need at least Python 2.3.4 for exporting LyX files
to a pre-unicode format, as previous versions are affected by a bug
