I have locally created a document and used some packages for that. Is it possible to share this environment with my colleagues, without having them to install miktex and the packages?

Solved:

I used the portable version of miktex (http://miktex.org/portable) and put it to a shared networkfolder. After installing all required packages, all of my team mates are able to compile the document without problems.

  • Try sharelatex and it's server based system. – Balaji Aug 21 '14 at 08:22
  • I don't think this works for my company as it is online... but thank you! – markusw Aug 21 '14 at 08:25
  • I think, this question is misleading: You are not sharing packages, it is in my point of view rather a collection of \usepackage{A}...\usepackage{Z} commands within your document -- or do you have selfdefined commands? –  Aug 21 '14 at 08:27
  • Yes that's true. It's just the installed packages I want to share... – markusw Aug 21 '14 at 08:29
  • @markusw: This assumes, that your colleagues have the same packages on their system... –  Aug 21 '14 at 08:33
  • I think the packages are mainly .sty and .cls files that can be included into the folder of the .tex file that you want to share. That should get rid of the need to install them. Miktex may be portable but is a bit large... You might want to search for "self contained latex" stuff like here – Harald Aug 21 '14 at 08:50
  • Ok I solved this by using http://miktex.org/portable and put it into a shared folder... Thank you everyone – markusw Aug 21 '14 at 08:58

    This question appears to be off-topic because the OP solved it in the comments. – yo' Aug 21 '14 at 09:37
  • than why is it off topic? – markusw Aug 21 '14 at 09:41
  • @markusw: You solved it already, no other answer can solve it too (apart from repeating your comment ;-)) That's off-topic –  Aug 21 '14 at 09:53
  • @ChristianHupfer They can answer their own question. – percusse Aug 21 '14 at 09:56
  • @percusse: I will not hinder him ;-) –  Aug 21 '14 at 09:57
  • @markusw The floor is yours. Please give us a little bit more detailed answer so that others can benefit. – percusse Aug 21 '14 at 09:58
