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. + +<p>The distribution includes extensive general documentation about TeX, +as well as the documentation for the included software packages. + +<p>For licensing information, please see the top-level <a +href="../LICENSE.TL">LICENSE.TL</a> and <a +href="../LICENSE.CTAN">LICENSE.CTAN</a> text files. + + +<h3>Where to start</h3> + +<p>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. + +<p>English versions of the Guide are on the DVD in the +<a href="../texmf-doc/doc/english">texmf-doc/doc/english/</a> hierarchy, in +both <a href="../texmf-doc/doc/english/texlive-en/texlive-en.html">html</a> +and <a href="../texmf-doc/doc/english/texlive-en/texlive-en.pdf">pdf</a> +formats. Translations to other languages are also available under +<a href="../texmf-doc/doc/">texmf-doc/doc/*</a>. + +<p>We also provide a list of <a href="../doc.html">links to the +available PDF and HTML documentation</a> for the included packages and +programs. + +<p>If you are installing from the Internet, the above links won't work. +In that case, please see the documentation on the Internet at <a +href="http://tug.org/texlive/doc.html">the TeX Live web site</a>. + +<p>For a list of the most important changes in this year's release, +see the <i>Release history</i> section at the end of the documentation. + + +<h3>Installation</h3> + +<p>The installation script is now named <tt>install-tl</tt> (that's +<tt>install-tl.bat</tt> on Windows), and it has both GUI (default on +Windows) and text (default on everything else) operation modes. You can +force one or the other with the options <tt>-gui</tt> and +<tt>-no-gui</tt>, respectively. + +<p>Post-installation package updates and other configurations are now +performed with the <tt>tlmgr</tt> (TeX Live Package Manager) script, +which likewise has both GUI and text modes. + +<p>You can give the command-line option <tt>--help</tt> to both +<tt>install-tl</tt> and <tt>tlmgr</tt> for an overview. + + +<h3>Links</h3> + +<p>Finally, a few related web pages, for your reference. These are not +included in TeX Live: + +<p><ul> +<li><a href="http://tug.org/begin.html">http://tug.org/begin.html</a> + - if you are new to TeX and/or want introductory material. +<li><a href="http://tug.org/interest.html">http://tug.org/interest.html</a> + - general list of TeX web resources, including documentation, + systems, packages, fonts, and more. +<li><a href="http://tug.org/ctan.html">http://tug.org/ctan.html</a> + - one entry point into the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN), + which is an online repository of all things TeX. +<li><a href="http://tug.org/usergroups.html">http://tug.org/usergroups.html</a> + - 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. +</ul> + + +<h4>Happy TeXing!</h4> + +<hr><small><a href="http://tug.org/texlive/">TeX Live home page.</a></small> +</body></html> |
