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 full distribution (for + example, on the DVD) 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/*. + + We also provide a list of [7]links to the available PDF and HTML + documentation for the included packages and programs. + + If you are installing from the Internet, the above links won't work. + In that case, you can view the [8]TeX Live documentation on the + Internet. + + 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 (that's install-tl.bat + 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 -gui and -no-gui, respectively. + + Post-installation package updates and other configurations are now + performed with the tlmgr (TeX Live Package Manager) script, which + likewise has both GUI and text modes. + + You can give the command-line option --help to both install-tl and + tlmgr for an overview. See the documentation links above for (much) + more information. + + Links + + Finally, a few related web pages, for your reference. These are not + included in TeX Live: + + * [9]http://tug.org/begin.html - if you are new to TeX and/or want + introductory material. + * [10]http://tug.org/interest.html - general list of TeX web + resources, including documentation, systems, packages, fonts, and + more. + * [11]http://tug.org/ctan.html - one entry point into the + Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN), which is an online + repository of all things TeX. + * [12]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! + _________________________________________________________________ + + [13]TeX Live home page. + +References + + 1. file:LICENSE.TL + 2. file:LICENSE.CTAN + 3. file:texmf-doc/doc/english + 4. file:texmf-doc/doc/english/texlive-en/texlive-en.html + 5. file:texmf-doc/doc/english/texlive-en/texlive-en.pdf + 6. file:texmf-doc/doc/ + 7. file:doc.html + 8. http://tug.org/texlive/doc.html + 9. http://tug.org/begin.html + 10. http://tug.org/interest.html + 11. http://tug.org/ctan.html + 12. http://tug.org/usergroups.html + 13. http://tug.org/texlive/ |
