Since you say you want any kind of TeX, I would personally recommend using Kile, as it comes installed with all the packages and is quite easy to use. Furthermore it comes with a lot of tools like wizards for tables or tools to easily create equations and add symbols for beginners. It also has a function to preview your equations.
You can find it in the Software Center.
Alternatively you can of course also use your terminal:
That's all you have to do. Once you installed the editor, you should be able to just use it without anything additional.
