Before reading this file, you should read -install.txt, which will explain how the LaTeX installation works. - -This file describes: - - * How to save any old version of LaTeX. - - * How to configure LaTeX. - (You can skip this part if you`re new to this.) - - * How to unpack the LaTeX distribution. - - * How to create the LaTeX format. - - * How to install the LaTeX files. - - * What to do if you have any problems. - - - -PRELIMINARIES -============= - -Most of the installation procedure is concerned with creating a so -called format file. This file contains essentially all the macros -that make up the LaTeX package in a format that can be read in very -quickly by virtex. - -This guide assumes that you have an unmodified installation of PasTeX -release 1.3 or higher. If you have made any changes you should be able -to figure out yourself where to deviate from this introduction. - -If you are using PasTeX 1.3 you should install the binaries from -TeX:Bigbin to TeX:bin now. The normal binaries cannot be used with -LaTeX2e. Alternatively you might want to install PasTeX release 1.4. -A "light" version is available on aminet as text/tex/pt14l.lha, -the full release is on the Meeting Pearls III CD-ROM. -As of writing (July 1996), the CD is online at -<URL:ftp://ftp.rz.uni-wuerzburg.de/pub/amiga/mpearls3/index.html>. - -First of all move all of the files that accompanied this document to -a directory that should be outside the TeX: hierarchy. DO NOT copy -them directly to TeX:macros! Most of the installation will take place -in this directory. If the installation was successful you can delete -this directory afterwards. - - -SAVING ANY OLD VERSION OF LaTeX -=============================== - -If you are currently using the old LaTeX version, 2.09, you may wish -to save it before installing the new version of LaTeX. - -The format file is located in the directory TeX:formats and is named -something like lplain.fmt or latex.fmt. If the name is latex.fmt you -should rename it to latex209.fmt. This installation procedure will -create a new file called latex.fmt that would overwrite the old one. - -Now you should save your old style files. Make a subdirectory latex209 -in the directory TeX:macros and copy all files #?.sty from TeX:macros -into this directory. - -If you want use LaTeX 2.09 again for some reason, set the environment -variable TEXINPUTS with something like - -setenv TEXINPUTS .,TeX:macros/latex209,TeX:macros - -Make sure that TeX:macros/latex209 comes before TeX:macros so that -the old style files are used. (The "." refers to the current directory. -If you omit it, files in the current directory will not be found!) -Then call LaTeX with "virtex &latex209" (or "virtex &lplain", if that -was the name of the old format file). - - -CONFIGURING LATEX -================= - -If you have PasTeX release 1.3, you may wish to edit the file -texsys.cfg to have LaTeX work around some quirks in the version -of virtex that comes with it. First find out the actual version -of virtex with the command "version TeX:bin/virtex". -Then edit the file texsys.cfg and insert a line right at the top -containing - -\def\@TeXversion{3.14} - -and, of course, insert your actual version number if it differs. -This change is however purely cosmetical and only affects the -format of warning messages. - - -If at some point TeX runs out of memory it will stop with an error -message. -You can try and make more memory available to TeX by editing the file -TeX:config/tex.cnf. Try to figure out which parameter might have caused -TeX to run out of memory. If the error message said e.g -"Font <foobar> not loaded: Not enough room left", you should look at -the parameter fontmax and/or fontmemsize. A good place to start is -always the pair memmax and memtop. Read the comment in the file for more -information. - -From TeX version 3.0 on you have the possibility to have more than one -set of hyphenation atterns available in a format file. See the file -texpert.txt for more details of how this can be achieved. - - -UNPACKING THE DISTRIBUTION -========================== - -Cd to the directory that contains the distribution files. Check if -there is a file called "latex.ltx". If there is you probably have -got a distribution that already has been unpacked and can skip this -part. If there is a problem with a missing file at some point during -the installation, try unpacking it again anyway. - -If latex.ltx does not exist, the command "initex unpack.ins" will -unpack the distribution. If you have an 68000 based Amiga, now is -the time to go and make some coffee. - - -CREATING THE LaTeX FORMAT -========================= - -When the unpacking procedure is complete type "initex latex.ltx". -This will create the format file. When this is finished, copy it to -TeX:formats. Make sure you do not overwrite an old latex.fmt, -especially if there have been any problems. - - -PUTTING THE FILES WHERE LaTeX CAN READ THEM -=========================================== - -Now you need to install the new style files and everything else LaTeX -needs. Copy the following files to TeX:macros: - - latexbug.tex testpage.tex docstrip.tex lablst.tex - idx.tex nfssfont.tex small2e.tex sample2e.tex - #?.cls #?.clo #?.sty #?.fd #?.def #?.cfg - -If you have MakeIndex installed, copy #?.ist to the MakeIndex inputs -directory. - - -CHECKING THAT THE INSTALLATION WORKED -===================================== - -Now you can check if the installation worked. First cd to another -directory that does not contain any of the distribution files. -Copy the file ltxcheck.tex here and type "virtex &latex ltxcheck" -to the shell prompt. TeX will report that it cannot find a syntax -for the current directory, but that is OK. (If you figure out a way -to refer to the current directory, like UNIX ./, please tell us.) - -It will then check if it can find the file article.cls in the current -directory and issue an error because it will find the file in -TeX:macros. This is actually a good sign. Simply press return to the -question mark. - -It will then check for the version of TeX currently installed. If -you have PasTeX release 1.3, which contained virtex version 3.14, -there will probably be some ^^Js cluttering up the output. - -You can edit texsys.cfg (in the distribution directory) and rebuild -the format file as suggested by the warning text (see the section on -configuring LaTeX). PasTeX release 1.4 cures this problem. See the -`PRELIMINARIES' section for information on availability. - - -PROBLEMS -======== - -If there is any problem during installation, read the section on -configuring LaTeX in this document. Some of the problems that may -occur are covered there. Carefully reread the rest of the document, -then read the document install.txt, especially the `PROBLEMS' section. - -If none of these can solve your problem, try to get some human help. - ---- Copyright 1994-1996 Christian Bauernfeind and the LaTeX3 project --- ---- All rights reserved. --- - - |
