Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Texmaker is an open-source Qt4/Qt5 app that allows the user to develop documents in LaTeX. Being cross-platform, it runs on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. The latest version available is Texmaker 4.2, which has been released a while ago, coming with a few changes only. For information about this release, see the changelog.
In this article I will show you how to install Texmaker 4.2 on Fedora 20, Fedora 19, OpenSUSE 13.1, OpenSUSE 12.3 and Mageia 4.
Because it is not available via any repository or PPA, we have to download the texmaker rpm package from the project’s site and install it via command-line.
Follow the instructions for your system and architecture exactly, in order to get a successful installation.
