+Installation
+------------
-### INSTALLATION AND GETTING STARTED
+We no longer distribute installation instructions for the various TeX
+implementations. All modern TeX systems include `amsmath` as-standard, and end
+users should in general use the release versions supplied in this way.
-In order to use amsmath you need to have TeX installed first.
-For information on getting TeX see one of the following:
+Release distribution is carried out only through the CTAN archives.
- - [LaTeX Project Website](https://www.latex-project.org/)
- - [TeX User Group](https://www.tug.org/)
- - [TeX resources (AMS infos for authors)](https://www.ams.org/tex/tex-resources)
+Documentation
+-------------
-It is recommended to install a comprehensive distribution, such as
-TeX Live, MiKTeX for Windows, or MacTeX for Macintosh.
-As part of the "required" LaTeX package subset, amsmath
-will already be available if one of these distributions is chosen.
-
-If you are installing amsmath manually, the most recent version
-will be available from the CTAN archives
