-Welcome to TeX Live
-
- The TeX Live software distribution offers a complete TeX system for a
- variety of Unix, Macintosh, Windows and other platforms. It
- encompasses programs for editing, typesetting, previewing and printing
- of TeX documents in many different languages, and a large collection
- of TeX macros and font libraries.
-
- The distribution includes extensive general documentation about TeX,
- as well as the documentation for the included software packages.
-
- For licensing information, please see the top-level [1]LICENSE.TL and
- [2]LICENSE.CTAN text files.
-
- Where to start
-
- We strongly recommend that you read the TeX Live Guide before
- undertaking the installation. It includes step-by-step instructions, a
- description of the top-level directories, and more.
-
- English versions of the Guide are in the [3]texmf-doc/doc/english/
- hierarchy, in both [4]html and [5]pdf formats. Translations to other
- languages are also available under [6]texmf-doc/doc/*.
-
- For a list of the most important changes in this year's release, see
- the Release history section at the end of the documentation.
-
- Installation
-
- The installation script is now named install-tl, and has both GUI
- (default on Windows) and text (default on everything else) operation
- modes. You can force one or the other with the options -gui and
- -no-gui, respectively.
-
- Post-installation package updates and other configuration is now
- performed with the tlmgr (TeX Live Package Manager) script, which
- likewise has both GUI and text modes.
-
- Documentation
-
- Most of the documentation can be viewed online, before the TeX system
- is installed. To read it most conveniently, you will need to have a
- browser (such as [7]Firefox) for HTML documents, and a PDF reader
- (such as [8]gv or [9]xpdf or [10]Sumatra PDF - all free alternatives
- to Acrobat) for PDF documents.
-
- * [11]TeX Live documentation (html).
- * [12]Links to all included PDF and HTML documentation.
- * The English [13]TeX FAQ ([14]pdf also available).
-
- Finally, a few related web pages, for your reference. These are not
- included in TeX Live:
-
- * [15]http://tug.org/begin.html - if you are new to TeX and/or want
- introductory material.
- * [16]http://tug.org/interest.html - general list of TeX web
- resources, including documentation, systems, packages, fonts, and
- more.
- * [17]http://tug.org/ctan.html - one entry point into the
- Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN), which is an online
- repository of all things TeX.
- * [18]http://tug.org/usergroups.html - list of TeX user groups
- around the world, with contact information. We strongly encourage
- you to join the user group of your choice, to support TeX Live and
- other TeX activities.
-
- Happy TeXing!
