What is MiKTeX?

MiKTeX is a typesetting system for the Windows operating system. The distribution includes TeX, pdfTeX, and XeTeX, providing users with a comprehensive set of tools for document preparation and publication. One of the notable features of MiKTeX is its ability to automatically update itself by downloading new versions of previously installed components and packages, ensuring users have access to the latest software. Furthermore, MiKTeX offers an easy installation process, allowing users to quickly set up the system and begin creating their documents. Additionally, the system can detect when a user requires a package that has not yet been installed and prompt them to download and install the necessary components, streamlining the typesetting workflow
