# TeX Live 2023 - installer packages
This directory contains a network-based installer and packages for TeX
Live . It is mirrored via CTAN .
The TeX Live web pages have information on:
- ways to acquire the distribution ,
- quick installation ,
- documentation ,
- reporting bugs and checking known issues ,
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 .
It is not recommended, but as an alternative to this network install,
you can use the giant ISO image of the distribution
.
