+# TeX Live - installer packages
+
+This directory contains a network-based installer and packages for TeX
+Live <https://tug.org/texlive/>. It is mirrored via CTAN <https://ctan.org/>.
+
+The TeX Live web pages <https://tug.org/texlive/> have information on:
+- other ways to acquire the distribution <https://tug.org/texlive/acquire.html>,
+- quick installation <https://tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html>,
+- documentation <https://tug.org/texlive/doc.html>,
+- reporting bugs and known issues <https://tug.org/texlive/bugs.html>,
+and more.
+
+If you have a complete copy of this directory (for example, via
+rsync), including the archive/ and tlpkg/ subdirectories, you can run
+the install-tl (install-tl-windows.bat for Windows) script present here.
+
+The update-tlmgr-latest.sh and .exe archives here are one way to
+update tlmgr itself, or to recover from tlmgr
+being completely broken <https://tug.org/texlive/tlmgr.html#disaster>.
+
+It is not recommended, but as an alternative to this network install,
+you can use the giant ISO image of the distribution
+<http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/Images/>.
