Unfortunately, you must also install "psfrag", which is included with the easylatex distribution. + +The quickest way to start using EasyLatex is then to just change to the directory which came in the .tar file, and then run + +./quickInstall.pl + +If there are no problems with that, and everything works, then you don't need to read the rest of this file. + +--------- + +Before installing easylatex.pl, you must have Perl installed already. You may want to have the Perl module "Getopt::Declare" installed, too. However, if you don't, easylatex.pl will run fine from this directory (see footnote below). + +If you use Debian, this package is available in package libgetopt-declare-perl. + + +--------- + +To install EasyLatex, simply copy the subdirectory "easylatex" to either "/usr/lib/easylatex" or "$HOME/.easylatex", where $HOME is your home directory. + +Please note that if there is a directory at "$HOME/.easylatex", but this directory does not contain the contents of the "easylatex" subdirectory, then easylatex will get confused and abort. + +In case you get confused, just download easylatex again and re-copy the easylatex subdirectory all over again. + +Support is available at the mailing list easylatex-devel@lists.sourceforge.net. + + +----- + +footnote: + because I have already installed "Getopt::Declare" into this directory as a convenience; however, if you move the file "easylatex.pl", it won't be able to find this directory's Getopt::Declare, so in that case you should do a proper install of Getopt::Declare onto your system. + + +NOTE: inserting latex into graphivz graphs doesn't work with graphviz 2.2 (and perhaps others), but it does work on some older versions.
