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.

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'. - - ---- Contributed by: David Outteridge <DOUTTERIDGE@bendata.com> ---- Copyright 1997 by David Outteridge and the LaTeX3 project. --- ---- All rights reserved. --- |
