The installation utility +depends on the presence of unzip.exe: + + --------------------------------------------------------------------------- + Filename | | Description + ---------------+---+------------------------------------------------------- + install.exe | ! | MiKTeX installation utility + unzip.exe | ! | Unzip utility (by Info-ZIP) + --------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Files marked with '!' are absolutely necessary. The others are +optional. If you already have a comprehensive TeX directory tree +(such as a TeX Live 2 CD), then it should be enough to download the +essential files. + +You don't need to download SRC108.ZIP unless you want to re-compile +MiKTeX (you then need M$ Visual C++ 5.0 Pro). + + +Installation +************ + + 1. Make sure that you have the necessary files (see previous section). + + 2. Choose a name for the root TEXMF directory, say C:\TEXMF. Please note, + that due to a bug in Unzip 5.31, you cannot choose a UNC path here. + Work-around: Use a non-UNC path for installation. Later you can redefine + the root directory with the help of the Configuration Utility. + + 3. Decide whether you want to use pre-existing TEXMF trees (such as + a shared teTeX directory hierarchy). + + 4. Don't install MiKTeX 1.08 over an older MiKTeX version. If you have + an old version, then you should remove it (after you have saved + you local additions). + + 5. Invoke INSTALL.EXE. + + 5.1 When prompted for the destination directory, enter the name chosen + in step 2. + + 5.2 When prompted for the root directories of other TEXMF trees, enter a + semicolon-separated list of existing TEXMF root directories. Enter + nothing, if you just want to use the TEXMF tree that comes with MiKTeX. + + For example, if your workstation is connected to a shared teTeX + directory, then you can enter its UNC name (e.g. \\SERVER\TETEX). + + If you have a TeX Live 2 CD, then you can enter X:\SHARE\TEXMF + (replace X with the CD-ROM drive letter). + + 6. Add the MiKTeX bin directory to the environment variable PATH. + Under Windows 95 you have to append something like + + set PATH=c:\texmf\miktex\bin;%PATH% + + to your AUTOEXEC.BAT. Under Windows NT you can use Control + Panel to change the value of PATH. + + 7. Restart Windows. + + +Example Installation +-------------------- + +Here comes the transcript of a standard installation procedure. +C:\TEXMF is the destination directory. No additional TEXMF trees will +be incorporated. + + +------------------------------------------------------------------+ + | C:\temp> install | + | Welcome to MiKTeX 1.08 Installation Utility.

It should now be possible to do without + a drive letter when you setup a shared MiKTeX installation. + + * Certain internal TeX parameters have been increased. + + * MakeTeX{PK,TFM} now determines the standard destination directory.
