[Tex/LaTex] Writing an IEEE document

ieee-styleieeetran

I need to write a document by using one of the IEEE Xplore templates but I don't know how to compile it since that my TeX editors don't recognize this template [I have installed in my laptop TeX Maker and LyX].

The template I want to use is in the following link: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html

Can you help me please? What I have to do in order to these editors compile this kind of templates?.

Thanks for your attention and help.

  1. Download and unpack the archive.
  2. Copy the IEEEtran.cls class file into the same directory as your document.
  3. Make the first line of your document \documentclass{IEEEtran}.
    • (You can also load class options as described in the "How-To" file included in the archive.)
  4. Compile the document the way you would normally compile a LaTeX document. (E.g., enter pdflatex file at the command line.)
