- LaTeX installation instructions for web2c Unix TeX
-
- 3 June 97
-
-
-SUMMARY
-=======
-
-This file contains instructions on how to install LaTeX for web2c Unix
-TeX. Before reading this file, you should read install.txt, which
-will explain how the LaTeX installation works.
-
-This file describes:
-
- * Preliminary actions that ease the installation process.
-
- * How to save any old version of LaTeX.
-
- * How to unpack the LaTeX distribution.
-
- * How to create the LaTeX format.
-
- * How to install the LaTeX files.
-
-
-ESTABLISH DIRECTORY PATHS
-=========================
-
-It helps to set some environment variables to the paths needed by
-LaTeX prior to the installation procedure. Also it helps to write the
-assignments into a file, which can be saved and used any number of
-times. Here is a sample .profile file (for the Bourne sh or a
-derivative, see later for csh format), and the command that would use
-it.
-
-# Paths file for installing LaTeX2e. See web2ctex.txt
-# 2 June 97
-
-LATEXINPUTS=/usr/lib/texmf/texmf/tex/latex/base ; export LATEXINPUTS
-LATEXFORMATS=/usr/lib/texmf/texmf/web2c ; export LATEXFORMATS
-LATEXBIN=/usr/lib/texmf/bin/i586-linux ; export LATEXBIN
-LATEXDIST=/home/Current-Install/latex2e/base ; export LATEXDIST
-INDEXSTYLE=/usr/lib/texmf/texmf/makeindex ; export INDEXSTYLE
-
- source ./.profile
-
-
-You can identify each of these paths by using the find command to look
-for one of the files specified in each section below. For example,
-LATEXINPUTS can be identified with the following commands.
-
- cd /usr
- find . -name article.sty -print
-
-
-The $LATEXINPUTS directory is where the LaTeX packages and classes are
-kept. This is on the TEXINPUTS path. This directory contains the
-files: article.sty, report.cls, lablst.tex and ltxguide.cls.
-
-For csh or a derivative use the command form below, otherwise use the
-form shown above in the sample file content above.
-
- setenv LATEXINPUTS /usr/local/lib/tex/inputs/latex
-
-
-The $LATEXFORMATS directory is where the LaTeX format is kept. This
-is on the TEXFORMATS path. This directory contains the files:
-latex.fmt, tex.fmt and mf.base.
-
-
-The $LATEXBIN directory is where the LaTeX binary is kept. This is on
-the PATH path. This directory contains the files: virtex, kpsetool
-and dvips. Note that the required directory is the one actually
-containing these files, not one with soft links (i.e., ffff -> gggg)
-to these files; look in the directories to be sure. The command
- which latex
-will give the wrong directory if a soft link is in use.
-
-
-The $LATEXDIST directory is where the LaTeX distribution is kept.
-This is normally NOT on a path. This directory contains the files
-that you have just acquired and wish to install.
-
-
-The $INDEXSTYLE directory is where the makeindex program looks for its
-style files. This directory contains the files with suffix .ist which
-can be found with
- find . -name *.ist -print
-
-
-SAVING ANY OLD VERSION OF LATEX
-===============================
-
-If you have a copy of LaTeX 2.09, you may wish to save it before
-installing LaTeX2e.
-
-To begin with, you should save the LaTeX format.
-
- cd $LATEXFORMATS
- mv latex.fmt latex209.fmt
-
-Then you should save the LaTeX inputs. This will depend on whether
-your LaTeX inputs are kept in the same directory as all the other
-inputs. If they are, then:
-
- cd $LATEXINPUTS
- mkdir ../latex209
- cp *.sty ../latex209
-
-If they are not, and are kept in a separate directory, or if you are
-not sure, then:
-
- cd $LATEXINPUTS
- mkdir ../latex209
- cp * ../latex209
-
-Finally, you can create a shell script to run the old latex, for
-example:
-
- #!/bin/sh
- TEXINPUTS=${LATEX209INPUTS:- \
- .:/usr/local/lib/tex/inputs/latex209:$TEXINPUTS}
- export TEXINPUTS
- virtex \&latex209 $*
-
-
-UNPACKING THE DISTRIBUTION
-==========================
-
-To unpack the LaTeX distribution, you should:
-
- cd $LATEXDIST
- initex unpack.ins
-
-This may take 5 or 10 minutes to unpack.
-
-
-CREATING THE LATEX FORMAT
-=========================
-
-To create the LaTeX format, you should:
-
- initex latex.ltx
-
-This will create a file latex.fmt. You should install this with:
-
- mv latex.fmt $LATEXFORMATS
-
-If you had a latex binary before, it will now pick up the new
-format. Otherwise, you should say:
-
- cd $LATEXBIN
- ln virtex latex
-
-
-PUTTING THE FILES WHERE LATEX CAN READ THEM
-===========================================
-
-To install the LaTeX files, you should:
-
- cd $LATEXDIST
- mv latexbug.tex testpage.tex lablst.tex idx.tex nfssfont.tex \
- small2e.tex sample2e.tex docstrip.tex \
- *.cls *.clo *.sty *.fd *.def *.cfg \
- $LATEXINPUTS
- mv *.ist $INDEXSTYLE
-
-You have now installed LaTeX!
-
-
-CHECKING THAT THE INSTALLATION WORKED
-=====================================
-
-To check that the installation worked, you should:
-
- cd $LATEXDIST
- latex ltxcheck
-
-This will perform a number of tests, which should all report `OK'.
