I have just installed TexLive by running sudo apt-get install texlive. According to the official website, this package also comes with the editor TexWorks. But how do I now open a .tex file with TexWorks? If I right-click on a .tex file, TexWorks is not listed as one of the default applications. Furthermore, if I search for TexWorks on my machine, it cannot be found...

  • You have to install texworks separately. I have texlive-full installed and it didn't pull TexWorks. As an aside, TeXWorks is ok, but if you are just starting, I strongly advise you to start with a generic editor (gedit is ok) and by-hand compilation - steeper starting curve, better understanding later.

    Have you tried TeXStudio? sudo apt-get install texstudio – Marcelo Ventura May 31 '16 at 18:49

Short answer: you should add TeXWorks explicitily, as in 

sudo apt-get install texworks

You need to have the "universe" repository enabled.

Long one: read my comment and browse the relevant question in TeX.SE.
