See + + http://www.tug.org/tds/tds.pdf + +for details on the TDS standard. If your TeX system does not comply +with the TDS standard, please contact the manufactuer of your TeX +system for details on how to install third-party TeX packages. + +The first step is to identify the TEXMF folder that contains files used +by LaTeX. To do this, look for the file article.cls. If you find, e.g., + + /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/article.cls + +then we will define TEXMF to mean /usr/local/share/texmf (everything +up to the /tex/latex/base part). On a Windows system the file location +will probably be something like + + c:\sw\texmf\tex\latex\base\article.cls + +Then we define TEXMF to mean c:\sw\texmf. In the following instructions, +wherever you see "TEXMF" substitute the folder name determined in this +way. + +If this terminology does not make sense to you, seek assistance from +a friend or colleague, or from the company that you bought your TeX +system from, or contact us at + + tech-support@ams.org + 800-321-4AMS (321-4267) (USA/Canada) + 401-455-4080 + +======================================================================== +I. Installing the easy way. + +1. Download the following archive file: + + ftp://ftp.ams.org/pub/tex/amsmath.zip + +2. View the following files to assess the effects of the upgrade on +your system: + + 00readme.txt + install.txt (this file) + diffs-m.txt + +3. Backup the old version of AMS-LaTeX, preferably by moving it out of the +TEXMF tree. + +4. Extract files from the .zip archive using your favorite unzip tool, +setting the extraction target directory to the texmf root directory. + +5. To check the end result, you should find that you now have amsmath.sty +in the following location + + TEXMF/tex/latex/amsmath/amsmath.sty + +Some TeX systems also use a database to keep track of TeX input files. +If this database is not updated, your TeX system might not find the +newly installed files. Consult your TeX system's documentation to +determine how to update this database. + +6. Some files will appear in both the source area and another area. +This is because the source form and the in-use form are identical. +As distributed, the files in the source/latex/ams* areas comprise a +complete copy of the distribution from which all the other files can +be regenerated if need be. If you need to conserve disk space, you +could delete the files in the source area, since they are not needed +for normal use. + +======================================================================== +II. Installing the not-so-easy way. + +Download ftp://ftp.ams.org/pub/tex/amsmath.zip. + +Make the following directories, if not already present: + + TEXMF/source/latex/amsmath + TEXMF/tex/latex/amsmath + TEXMF/doc/latex/amsmath + +Backup your old AMS-LaTeX files if they are installed, preferably moving them +out of the TEXMF tree. + +******** revise -- pdf file amsldoc will be included in distrib + +Create a temporary directory and generate documentation files (these assume +a UNIX TeX installation): + + - make directory /tmp/amsmath + - unzip -d /tmp/amscls amsmath.zip + - cd /tmp/amsmath + - Run latex on the file ams-m1.ins to produce .cls and .sty files + - Run latex on *.tex + - [optional] Run latex on *.dtx (technical documentation) + - move *.dvi, *.pdf, *.tex to TEXMF/doc/latex/amsmath + - [optional] move *.dtx to TEXMF/doc/latex/amsmath + - [optional] convert .dvi to .ps or .pdf + - move *.sty and *.cls to TEXMF/tex/latex/amsmath + - delete /tmp/amsmath + +Some TeX systems also use a database to keep track of TeX input files. +If this database is not updated, your TeX system might not find the +newly installed files. Consult your system's documentation to determine +how to update this database. |
