-<h2><a name="Overview"></a>Overview of how to install Ghostscript</h2>
-
-<p>
-You must have three things to run Ghostscript:
-<ol>
-<li>The Ghostscript executable file; on some operating
-systems, more than one file is required. These are entirely
-platform-specific. See below for details.
-
-<li>Initialization files that Ghostscript reads in when it
-starts up; these are the same on all platforms.
-<ul>
-<li><b><tt>gs_</tt></b>*<b><tt>.ps</tt></b> unless Ghostscript was compiled
-using the "compiled initialization files" option. See the documentation of
-<a href="Psfiles.htm">PostScript files distributed with Ghostscript</a>.
-
-<li><b><tt>pdf_</tt></b>*<b><tt>.ps</tt></b> if Ghostscript was compiled
-with the ability to interpret Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files,
-that is, <b><tt>pdf.dev</tt></b> was included in
-<b><tt>FEATURE_DEVS</tt></b> when Ghostscript was built.
-
-<li><b><tt>Fontmap</tt></b> and <b><tt>Fontmap.GS</tt></b> (or the
-appropriate <b><tt>Fontmap.</tt></b><em>xxx</em> for your platform), unless
-you plan always to invoke Ghostscript with the <a
-href="Use.htm#FONTMAP_switch"><b><tt>-dNOFONTMAP</tt></b> switch</a>.
-</ul>
-
-<li>Fonts, for rendering text. These are platform-independent,
-but if you already have fonts of the right kind on your platform,
-you may be able to use those. See below for details. Also see the
-<a href="Fonts.htm">documentation on fonts</a>.
-</ol>
-
-<p>
-The <a href="Use.htm">usage documentation</a> describes the search
-algorithms used to find initialization files and font files. The
-per-platform descriptions that follow tell you where to install these
-files.
-
-<hr>
-
-<h2><a name="Install_Unix"></a>Installing Ghostscript on Unix</h2>
-
-<p>
-Ghostscript uses a GNU autoconf-based configure, build and install method
-common to many modern software packages. In general the following with suffice
-to build ghostscript:
-<blockquote><tt><b>
- ./configure<br>
- make
-</b></tt></blockquote>
-and then it may be installed in the default location with:
-<blockquote><b>
- <tt>make install</tt>
-</b></blockquote>
-This last command may need to be performed with super user privileges.
-
-<p>
-You can set the installation directory by adding <tt>--prefix=<em>path</em></tt>
-to the configure invocation in the first step. The default prefix is <tt>/usr/local</tt>,
-which is to say the <tt>gs</tt> executable is installed as <tt>/usr/local/bin/gs</tt>.
-
-</p>A list of similar configuration options is available via <tt>./configure --help</tt>
-
-<p>
-For more detailed information on building Ghostscript see
-<a href="Make.htm#Unix_build">how to build Ghostscript on Unix</a> in
-the documentation on building Ghostscript, especially regarding information
-on using the older <a href="Make.htm#UNIX_makefile">hand edited makefile</a>
-approach. Whatever configuration method you use, execute "<b><tt>make
-install</tt></b>" to install the executable and all the required and
-ancillary files after the build is complete.
-
-<h3><a name="Unix_Fonts"></a>Fonts</h3>
-
-<p>
-The makefile installs all the files except fonts under the directory
-defined in the makefile as <b><tt>prefix</tt></b>. Fonts need to be
-installed separately. The fonts should be installed in
-<tt><em>{prefix}</em>/share/ghostscript/fonts</tt>.
-(That is, <tt>/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/</tt> if you used the default
-configuration above.)
-
-<p>
-You can have ghostscript use other fonts on your system by adding
-entries to the fontmap or adding the directories to the GS_FONTMAP environment
-variable. See the <a href="Use.htm#Font_lookup">usage documentation</a> for more
-information.
-For example, many GNU/Linux distributions place fonts under <tt>/usr/share/fonts</tt>.
-
-<h3><a name="Shared_object"></a>Ghostscript as a shared object</h3>
-If you've built Ghostscript as a shared object, instead of '<tt>make install</tt>',
-you must use '<tt>make soinstall</tt>'.
-See <a href="Make.htm#Shared_object">how to build Ghostscript
-as a shared object</a> for more details.
-
-<h3><a name="Install_GNULinux"></a>Additional notes on GNU/Linux</h3>
-
-<p>
-For GNU/Linux, you may be able to install or upgrade Ghostscript from
-precompiled <a href="http://www.rpm.org">RPM</a> files using:
-
-<blockquote><b><tt>
-rpm -U ghostscript-N.NN-1.i386.rpm<br>
-rpm -U ghostscript-fonts-N.NN-1.noarch.rpm
-</tt></b></blockquote>
-
-<p>
-However, please note that we do not create RPMs for Ghostscript, and we take
-no responsibility for RPMs created by others.
-
-<hr>
-
-<h2><a name="Install_Windows"></a>Installing Ghostscript on MS Windows</h2>
-
-<p>
-We usually distribute Ghostscript releases for Windows as self-extracting
-archive files, since this is the most convenient form for users. These
-files can also be unpacked as if they were plain zip files.
-
-<p>
-The self-extracting archive is normally named
-<b><tt>gs###w32.exe</tt></b>,
-where ### is the release number (e.g., 650 for Ghostscript 6.50,
-700 for Ghostscript 7.00).
-
-<h3><a name="Windows4"></a>Windows 95/98 and NT 4</h3>
-
-<p>
-To install a self-extracting Ghostscript archive on Windows 95/98 or
-Windows NT4/2000, you need just this self-extracting archive file.
-Run this file to install Ghostscript.
-
-<p>
-Alternatively, if you have the zip file, unzip it to a temporary
-directory then run the included <b><tt>setupgs.exe</tt></b>.
-After the setup program has finished, remove the temporary files.
-
-<h3><a name="General_Windows"></a>General Windows configuration</h3>
-
-<p>
-The archive includes files in these subdirectories:
-
-<blockquote><b><tt>
-gs<em>#.##</em>\bin
-<br>gs<em>#.##</em>\lib
-<br>gs<em>#.##</em>\examples
-<br>gs<em>#.##</em>\doc
-<br>fonts
-</tt></b></blockquote>
-
-<p>
-The actual executable files, in the <b><tt>gs<em>#.##</em>\bin</tt></b>
-subdirectory, are:
-
-<blockquote><table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
-<tr valign=top> <td><b><tt>GSWIN32.EXE</tt></b>
- <td>&nbsp;
- <td>32-bit Ghostscript using windows
-<tr valign=top> <td><b><tt>GSWIN32C.EXE</tt></b>
- <td>&nbsp;
- <td>32-bit Ghostscript using only the command line
-<tr valign=top> <td><b><tt>GSDLL32.DLL</tt></b>
- <td>&nbsp;
- <td>32-bit dynamic link library containing most of Ghostscript's
-functionality
-</table></blockquote>
-
-<p>
-See "<a href="#Install_DOS">Installing Ghostscript on DOS</a>" below for
-information about using Adobe Type Manager, Adobe Type Basics, or Adobe
-Acrobat fonts. If your system uses TrueType fonts, you can get them
-converted to a Ghostscript-compatible format at the time you select your
-"printer" by doing the following:
-
-<blockquote><ol>
-<li>Open control panel and double-click on the "Printers" icon.
-<li>Select your Postscript printer.
-<li>Choose Setup.
-<li>Choose Options.
-<li>Choose Advanced.
-<li>At the top of the dialog box you will see TrueType Fonts Send to
-Printer As: Choose <em>(drop-down menu)</em> Adobe Type 1.
-<li>Uncheck Use Printer Fonts for All TrueType Fonts and Use
-Substitution
-Table.
-<li>OK.
-<li>OK etc.
-</ol></blockquote>
-
-<p>
-That's it! Your TrueType fonts will automatically be downloaded in your
-PostScript file for Ghostscript to use.
-
-<p>
-For printer devices, the default output is:
-
-<blockquote><table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
-<tr valign=top> <td>The default printer
- <td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
- <td>Win95 or WinNT
-<tr valign=top> <td>Prompt for a printer port
- <td>&nbsp;
- <td>Win32s (Windows 3.1)
-</table></blockquote>
-
-<p>
-This can be modified as follows.
-
-<blockquote>
-<dl>
-<dt><b><tt>-sOutputFile="LPT1:"</tt></b>
-<dd>Output to the named port.
-
-<dt><b><tt>-sOutputFile="%printer%printer name"</tt></b> (Windows 95, 98,
-NT or 2000)
-<dd>Output to the named printer. If your printer is named "HP DeskJet 500"
-then you would use <tt>-sOutputFile="%printer%HP DeskJet 500"</tt>.
-
-<dt><b><tt>-sOutputFile="\\spool\printer name"</tt></b> (Windows 3.1/Win32s)
-<dd>Output to the named printer. Note that this is NOT a UNC name.
-
-</dl>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>
-If Ghostscript fails to find an environment variable, it looks for a
-registry value of the same name under the key
-
-<blockquote><b><tt>
-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU Ghostscript\#.##
-</tt></b></blockquote>
-
-<p>
-or if that fails, under the key
-
-<blockquote><b><tt>
-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GNU Ghostscript\#.##
-</tt></b></blockquote>
-
-<p>
-where #.## is the Ghostscript version number. This does not work under
-Win32s (that is, Windows 3.1, which doesn't support named registry
-values).
-
-<p>
-Ghostscript will attempt to load the Ghostscript dynamic link
-library <b><tt>GSDLL32.DLL</tt></b> in the following order:
-<ul>
-<li> In the same directory as the Ghostscript executable.
-<li> If the environment variable <b><tt>GS_DLL</tt></b> is defined,
-Ghostscript tries to load the Ghostscript dynamic link library (DLL)
-with the name given.
-<li> Using the standard Windows library search method: the directory
-from which the application loaded, the current directory, the Windows
-system directory, the Windows directory and the directories listed in
-the PATH environment variable.
-</ul>
-
-<p>
-The Ghostscript setup program will create registry values
-for the environment variables <b><tt>GS_LIB</tt></b>
-and <b><tt>GS_DLL</tt></b>.
-
-<h3><a name="Uninstall_Windows"></a>Uninstalling Ghostscript on Windows</h3>
-
-<p>
-To uninstall Ghostscript, use the Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and
-remove "Ghostscript #.##" and "Ghostscript Fonts". (The entries may be
-called "Aladdin Ghostscript" or some other specifier rather than just
-"Ghostscript", depending on what version of Ghostscript was installed.)
-
-<hr>
-
-<h2><a name="Install_VMS"></a>Installing Ghostscript on OpenVMS</h2>
-
-<p>
-You need the file <b><tt>GS.EXE</tt></b> to run Ghostscript on OpenVMS, and
-installing Ghostscript on an OpenVMS system requires building it first:
-please read <a href="Make.htm#VMS_build">how to build Ghostscript on VMS</a>
-in the documentation on building Ghostscript.
-
-<p>
-The following installation steps assume that the Ghostscript directory is
-<b><tt>DISK1:[DIR.GHOSTSCRIPT]</tt></b>. Yours will almost certainly be in
-a different location so adjust the following commands accordingly.
-
-<ul>
-
-<li>Download the fonts and unpack them into
-<b><tt>DISK1:[DIR.GHOSTSCRIPT.LIB]</tt></b>.
-
-<li>Enable access to the program and support files for all users with:
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-$ set file/prot=w:re DISK1:[DIR]GHOSTSCRIPT.dir
-$ set file/prot=w:re DISK1:[DIR.GHOSTSCRIPT...]*.*
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-<li>Optionally, add the Ghostscript help instructions to your system wide
-help file:
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-$ lib/help sys$help:HELPLIB.HLB DISK1:[DIR.GHOSTSCRIPT.DOC]GS-VMS.HLP
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-<li>Lastly, add the following lines to the appropriate system wide or user
-specific login script.
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-$ define gs_exe DISK1:[DIR.GHOSTSCRIPT.BIN]
-$ define gs_lib DISK1:[DIR.GHOSTSCRIPT.EXE]
-$ gs :== $gs_exe:gs.exe
-</pre></blockquote>
-
-</ul>
-
-<p>
-If you have DECWindows/Motif installed, you may wish to replace the
-<b><tt>FONTMAP.GS</tt></b> file with <b><tt>FONTMAP.VMS</tt></b>. Read the
-comment at the beginning of the latter file for more information.
-
-<hr>
-
-<h2><a name="Install_DOS"></a>Installing Ghostscript on DOS</h2>
-
-<p>
-You need the files <b><tt>GS386.EXE</tt></b> and <b><tt>DOS4GW.EXE</tt></b>
-to run Ghostscript. You should install all the files except the fonts in
-<b><tt>C:\GS</tt></b>, and the fonts in <b><tt>C:\GS\FONTS</tt></b>.
-
-<p><a name="Use_platform_fonts_DOS"></a> If you have Adobe Type Manager
-(ATM) fonts installed on your system, and you wish to use them with
-Ghostscript, you may wish to replace the <b><tt>FONTMAP</tt></b> file with
-<b><tt>FONTMAP.ATM</tt></b>, and to add to the environment variable
-<b><tt>GS_LIB</tt></b> the name of the directory where the fonts are located
-(see below for more information about <b><tt>GS_LIB</tt></b>). Before you
-do this, please read carefully the license that accompanies the ATM fonts;
-we take no responsibility for any possible violations of such licenses.
-Similarly, if you have Adobe Type Basics, you may wish to replace
-<b><tt>FONTMAP</tt></b> with <b><tt>FONTMAP.ATB</tt></b>. Finally, if you
-have neither ATM nor ATB but you have Adobe Acrobat installed, you can use
-the Acrobat fonts in place of the ones provided with Ghostscript by adding
-the Acrobat fonts directory to <b><tt>GS_FONTPATH</tt></b> and removing
-these fonts from <b><tt>FONTMAP</tt></b>:
-
-<blockquote>
-Courier, Courier-Bold, Courier-BoldOblique, Courier-Oblique, Helvetica,
-Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica-BoldOblique, Helvetica-Oblique, Symbol, Times-Bold,
-Times-BoldItalic, Times-Italic, Times-Roman, ZapfDingbats
-</blockquote>

-
-<h2><a name="Install_OS2"></a>Installing Ghostscript on OS/2 2.x</h2>
-
-<p>
-The Ghostscript OS/2 implementation is designed for OS/2 2.1 or later. A
-few people have used it successfully under OS/2 2.0, but it has had very
-little testing. You need these files to run Ghostscript on OS/2:
-
-<blockquote><table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
-<tr valign=top> <td><b><tt>GSOS2.EXE</tt></b>
- <td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
- <td>A text application that will run windowed or full screen
-<tr valign=top> <td><b><tt>GSDLL2.DLL</tt></b>
- <td>&nbsp;
- <td>A dynamic link library that must be in the same directory as
- <b><tt>GSOS2.EXE</tt></b> or on the <b><tt>LIBPATH</tt></b>.
-<tr valign=top> <td><b><tt>GSPMDRV.EXE</tt></b>
- <td>&nbsp;
- <td>An "external driver" used by the "<b><tt>os2pm</tt></b>"
- device, which is normally the default device and which displays
- output in a Presentation Manager window;
- <b><tt>GSPMDRV.EXE</tt></b> must be located in the same
- directory as <b><tt>GSOS2.EXE</tt></b> or on the
- <b><tt>PATH</tt></b>
-</table></blockquote>
-
-<p>
-<b><tt>GSOS2.EXE</tt></b>, <b><tt>GSDLL2.DLL</tt></b> and
-<b><tt>GSPMDRV.EXE</tt></b> are compiled using EMX/GCC 0.9d. You must have
-the EMX DLLs on your <b><tt>LIBPATH</tt></b>; they are available in a
-package <b><tt>emxrt.zip</tt></b> from many places on the Internet, so you
-can find the package by using a search engine or an ftp lookup service such
-as the one at
-
-<blockquote>
-<a href="http://ftpsearch.lycos.com/"
-class="offset">http://ftpsearch.lycos.com/</a>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>
-The system menu of the Ghostscript Image window includes a "Copy" command
-to copy the currently displayed bitmap to the Clipboard.
-
-<p>
-OS/2 comes with some Adobe Type Manager fonts. If you wish to use these with
-Ghostscript, you should replace the <b><tt>FONTMAP</tt></b> file with
-<b><tt>FONTMAP.OS2</tt></b>, and add to the environment variable
-<b><tt>GS_LIB</tt></b> (see below for more information about
-<b><tt>GS_LIB</tt></b>) the name of the directory where the fonts are
-located, usually <b><tt>C:\PSFONTS</tt></b>. Before you do this, please
-read carefully the license that accompanies the ATM fonts; we take no
-responsibility for any possible violations of such licenses.
-
-<p>
-Since <b><tt>GSOS2.EXE</tt></b> is not a PM application, it cannot
-determine the depth of the PM display. You must provide this information
-using the <b><tt>-dBitsPerPixel</tt></b> option. Valid values are 1, 4, 8
-(the default), and 24.
-
-<blockquote><table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
-<tr valign=bottom>
- <th align=left>Use
- <td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
- <th align=left>For
-<tr> <td colspan=3><hr>
-<tr valign=top> <td><b><tt>-dBitsPerPixel=1</tt></b>
- <td>&nbsp;
- <td>VGA monochrome
-<tr valign=top> <td><b><tt>-dBitsPerPixel=4</tt></b>
- <td>&nbsp;
- <td>VGA standard
-<tr valign=top> <td><b><tt>-dBitsPerPixel=8</tt></b>
- <td>&nbsp;
- <td>SVGA 256 colors
-</table></blockquote>
-
-<p>
-A command file <b><tt>gspm.cmd</tt></b> containing the following line may
-be useful:
-
-<blockquote><b><tt>
-@c:\gs\gsos2.exe -Ic:/gs;c:/gs/fonts;c:/psfonts -sDEVICE=os2pm -dBitsPerPixel=8 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8
-</tt></b></blockquote>
-
-<p>
-While drawing, the <b><tt>os2pm</tt></b> driver updates the display every 5
-seconds. On slow computers this is undesirable, and a different interval
-can be specified in milliseconds with the <b><tt>-dUpdateInterval</tt></b>
-option, with a default of <b><tt>-dUpdateInterval=5000</tt></b>; to disable
-update, use <b><tt>-dUpdateInterval=0</tt></b>.
-
-<p>
-Standard VGA is very slow because it uses double buffering to avoid bugs
-and because of 1-plane to 4-plane conversion; it's better to use a
-256-color display driver. Many display drivers have bugs which cause 1
-bit-per-pixel bitmaps to be displayed incorrectly.
-
-<p>
-<b><tt>GSOS2.EXE</tt></b> and <b><tt>GSPMDRV.EXE</tt></b> will stay in
-memory for the number of minutes specified in the environment variable
-<b><tt>GS_LOAD</tt></b>.
-
-<p>
-If you run <b><tt>GS386</tt></b> in the OS/2 2.0 or 2.1 DOS box, you must
-select the "ENABLED" setting for the DPMI_DOS_API option of the DOS box.
-<b><tt>GS386</tt></b> will not run with the "AUTO" setting.
-
-<p>
-For printer devices, output goes to the default queue. To print to a
-specified queue, use <b><tt>-sOutputFile=\\spool\NullLPT1</tt></b>, where
-<b><tt>NullLPT1</tt></b> is the queue's physical name.
