How do you set up Anki to use Latex equations on its cards? I would love to be able to use Anki cards to review maths definitions, theorems, proofs etc.
I really hope someone in this community knows how to achieve this. I have scoured the Internet to no avail, but I cannot find any good guides on setting this up.

Install LaTeX
TeX Live: Essential programs and files support in your system
sudo apt-get install texlive-base
or
TeX Live: metapackage pulling in all components of TeX Live
sudo apt-get install texlive-full
Start Anki
Create a deck
Click the button Create Deck in the lower part of the main window and create a deck, in my example
MathClick the field Add below the menu bar…
…and add some LaTeX, eg
Does the sum below converge? [latex]\begin{displaymath}\sum_{k = 1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{k}\end{displaymath}[/latex]and click Add and Close
Click the entry Math
and you will see this
Click Study Now…
…and you have your LaTeX
