+## Compiling LaTeX to PDF
+
+### Option 1: VS Code with LaTeX Workshop (Recommended)
+
+**Setup:**
+1. Install [TeX Live](https://www.tug.org/texlive/) (full distribution recommended)
+   - macOS: `brew install --cask mactex`
+   - Ubuntu: `sudo apt install texlive-full`
+   - Windows: Download from [tug.org/texlive](https://www.tug.org/texlive/)
+
+2. Install VS Code extension: **LaTeX Workshop** by James Yu
+   - Open VS Code → Extensions (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+X) → Search "LaTeX Workshop" → Install
+
+**Usage:**
+- Open any `.tex` file in VS Code
+- Save the file (Cmd/Ctrl+S) → Auto-compiles to PDF
+- Click the green play button or use `Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+B` to build
+- View PDF: Click "View LaTeX PDF" icon or `Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+V`
+- Side-by-side view: `Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+V` then drag tab
+
+**Settings** (add to VS Code `settings.json`):
+```json
+{
+  "latex-workshop.latex.autoBuild.run": "onSave",
+  "latex-workshop.view.pdf.viewer": "tab",
+  "latex-workshop.latex.recipes": [
+    {
+      "name": "pdflatex → bibtex → pdflatex × 2",
+      "tools": ["pdflatex", "bibtex", "pdflatex", "pdflatex"]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Option 2: Command Line
+
+```bash
+# Basic compilation
+pdflatex main.tex
+
+# With bibliography (full workflow)
+pdflatex main.tex
+bibtex main
+pdflatex main.tex
+pdflatex main.tex
+
+# Using latexmk (handles dependencies automatically)
+latexmk -pdf main.tex
+
+# Continuous compilation (watches for changes)
+latexmk -pdf -pvc main.tex
+```
+
+### Option 3: Overleaf (Online)
+
+1. Go to [overleaf.com](https://www.overleaf.com)
+2. New Project → Upload Project → Upload the template folder as ZIP
+3. Edit online with real-time PDF preview
+4. No local installation needed
+
+### Option 4: Other IDEs
+
+| IDE | Extension/Plugin | Notes |
+|-----|------------------|-------|
+| **Cursor** | LaTeX Workshop | Same as VS Code |
+| **Sublime Text** | LaTeXTools | Popular, well-maintained |
+| **Vim/Neovim** | VimTeX | Powerful, keyboard-driven |
+| **Emacs** | AUCTeX | Comprehensive LaTeX environment |
+| **TeXstudio** | Built-in | Dedicated LaTeX IDE |
+| **Texmaker** | Built-in | Cross-platform LaTeX editor |
+
+### Troubleshooting Compilation
+
+**"File not found" errors:**
+```bash
+# Ensure you're in the template directory
+cd templates/icml2026
+pdflatex example_paper.tex
+```
+
+**Bibliography not appearing:**
+```bash
+# Run bibtex after first pdflatex
+pdflatex main.tex
+bibtex main        # Uses main.aux to find citations
+pdflatex main.tex  # Incorporates bibliography
+pdflatex main.tex  # Resolves references
+```
+
+**Missing packages:**
+```bash
+# TeX Live package manager
+tlmgr install <package-name>
+
+# Or install full distribution to avoid this
+```
