I just downloaded and installed TeXMaker, and just to test it, I created a new document with just 



documentclass{article}

a

end{document}


However, after I saved it (without spaces or special characters or accents), whenever I press Quick Build, it just gives me an error message with 



Could not start the command.

pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex


What am I doing wrong?

    Use your favorite search engine and you will find their address. TeXMaker and friends are editors: they make writing in TeX&Co easier, but to compile the documents, you need a TeX engine that has to be downloaded separately. TeX distros are the best way to do it. MikTeX and ProTeXt are designed for Windows users, texlive is cross-platform (and for this reason may need more knowledge about your OS than MikTeX).
