A decent LaTeX2e installation (e.g. TeX Live for Linux, MikTeX for
Windows).
- Python 2.4 or later to convert old LyX files and for helper scripts.
- Note 1: Python 2.4 or later is required due to the subprocess module.
- Note 2: Python 2.6 or later is recommended on Windows.
- Note 3: Python 3.0 or later is not supported.
+ Python 2.7 to convert old LyX files and for helper scripts.
