You need an up-to-date version of a LaTeX distribution on your current operating system. It is generally advised against MikTeX, and advised for using TeXlive.
As the trend in development of LaTeX related packages and classes is to move away from pdflatex towards xelatex or lualatex, we are not providing support for pdflatex anymore. As such, you will need to compile your document using either XeLaTeX or luaLaTeX (preferably luaLaTeX as the classes are more thoroughly tested against luaLaTeX).
You can use these document classes for a magnitude of documents such as your bachelor's or master's thesis, a simple document, or a doctoral thesis. Please read on to find out more on the general structure of a document in either type.
Doctoral theses may be typeset in your language of preference (as long as it is either English or German, no other language is officially supported by the document class).
To have your thesis type set in English, you need the following document class header
\documentclass[%
ngerman,% to allow an alternative titlepage and abstract in German
english,% main document language needs to be loaded last
]{iswdctrt}\documentclass[%
english,% to allow an alternative titlepage and abstract in English
ngerman,% main document language needs to be loaded last
]{iswdctrt}
