LaTeX is a programming language to type texts with math content. You need to use some text editor to edit your .tex file, then use a latex compiler to compile your LaTeX file into a pdf file.

For Windows, you may
(a) download the MikTeX program from http://miktex.org/download;
(b) then download the Texmaker program from http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/download.html.
For Mac users, you may download MacTex from http://tug.org/mactex/.Or LaTeXian.
You may also use the online editor Overleaf , SharetLaTeX, Papeeria, or Google doc TeX editor SpartanTeX. (about)

Alternatively you can download a Windows TeX package CTeX.

Here is a tutorial page for LaTeX.
