Problem in compiliing LaTex with Hebrew

Question

I try to compile a simple test code with Hebrew one TexStudio:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ucs}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english,hebrew]{babel}

% Add texlive-lang-other library to compile LaTex with Hebrew
\begin{document} 
שלום \L{World}!
\end{document}

But I get the following error message:

line 2: Font LHE/cmr/m/n/10=jerus10 at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. \select@language{hebrew}
: No hyphenation patterns were preloaded for(babel) the language `Hebrew' into the format.

You don't have the fonts installed. You can find them (somewhere) on ctan still. But I strongly recommend you switch to xelatex and polyglossia for Hebrew. You'll save yourself a world of pain. Look here for xelatex solution: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/354676/perfect-example-document-template-for-english-greek-and-hebrew-xelatex/354679 and here for babel: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/365064/greek-and-hebrew-in-a-single-pdflatex-babel-document — David Purton, Oct 26 '17 at 10:42

I would strongly suggest using XeTeX. See this post for an example. If you intend to write anything more than trivial however, LyX would make it much easier for you, as there are lots of directionality quirks LyX takes care of automatically.
