- LaTeX installation instructions for OzTeX
- =========================================
-
- March 2002
-
-NOTE: LaTeX is installed and ready to use in OzTeX 5.0 or later.
-If you have an older version of OzTeX then please upgrade; you can find
-download links at OzTeX's web site:
-
-http://www.trevorrow.com/oztex/
-
-This document assumes you have OzTeX 5.0 or later and wish to update
-the supplied version of LaTeX.
-
-
-SUMMARY
-=======
-
-Before reading this file, you should read install.txt which explains
-how the LaTeX installation works in more detail.
-
-The following sections describe:
-
- * How to override the old version of LaTeX.
- * How to unpack the LaTeX distribution.
- * How to create the LaTeX format.
- * How to check that the installation worked.
- * Removing unnecessary files.
-
-
-OVERRIDING THE OLD VERSION OF LATEX
-===================================
-
-All LaTeX-related files are stored inside :TeX:Inputs:LaTeX: but it is
-best not to change anything in that folder because your changes will be
-clobbered if you upgrade to a new version of OzTeX. Instead, you can
-override the supplied version of LaTeX very easily by creating a new
-folder called something like "mylatex" and then adding a line like this
-in the OzTeX-only section of your Local config file:
-
- input_folders = hd:mylatex:* $c
-
-This tells OzTeX to search your folder before the supplied folders.
-
-
-UNPACKING THE DISTRIBUTION
-==========================
-
-To unpack the LaTeX distribution:
-
- * Put the files downloaded from tex-archive/macros/latex/base into
- a base subfolder inside your new LaTeX folder.
-
- * Start up OzTeX.
-
- * Select "TeX..." from the TeX menu and use the open dialog to find
- unpack.ins in the base folder, but do NOT open the file. Instead,
- select Cancel. This sets OzTeX's current folder.
-
- * Select INITEX from the TeX menu.
-
- * Type "unpack.ins" in response to the ** prompt and hit Return.
- This will start the unpacking process -- it shouldn't take too long.
-
-If you also downloaded new versions of tools, graphics, psnfss, etc.,
-you can easily unpack the various *.ins files by ticking the LaTeX
-format in the TeX menu and simply dropping a .ins file onto the
-OzTeX application.
-
-
-CREATING THE LATEX FORMAT
-=========================
-
-To create a new LaTeX format:
-
- * Select INITEX from the TeX menu.
-
- * Type "latex.ltx" in response to the ** prompt and hit Return.
-
- * After a short while you will be asked to save the LaTeX format.
- Save it as latex.fmt in a suitable location inside your new LaTeX
- folder and make sure OzTeX searches that location before the Default
- format folder by adding a line like this in your Local file:
-
- format_folders = hd:mylatex:formats: $c
-
-You might discover at a later date that one or more TeX parameters need
-to be increased to typeset your documents. If so, make the parameter
-changes in your Local file. Depending on which parameters (see the notes
-in the Default file) you might also need to build a new format file.
-
-
-CHECKING THAT THE INSTALLATION WORKED
-=====================================
-
-To check that the installation worked:
-
- * Move the file ltxcheck.ltx out of the base folder.
- (It doesn't matter where you move it, just so long as it is not in the
- same folder as the file article.cls. If this file is in the same
- folder then LaTeX will definitely be able to read it and so cannot check
- if it is possible to read files that are NOT in the current folder.)
-
- * Tick the LaTeX format in the TeX menu.
-
- * Drop the ltxcheck.ltx file onto the OzTeX application.
- This will run a test of the LaTeX installation, and should produce "OK!"
- to a number of tests. If it does not, see PROBLEMS in install.txt.
-
- * Delete the .log and .aux files created (and move ltxcheck.ltx back to
- the base folder if you like).
-
-You have now installed LaTeX.
-
-
-REMOVING UNNECESSARY FILES
-==========================
-
-After LaTeX has been successfully installed, you might want to delete some
-non-essential files to free up space on your hard disk. You can safely
-delete all files ending in:
-
- .ins .dtx .fdd
