It + encompasses programs for editing, typesetting, previewing and printing + of TeX documents in many different languages, and a large collection + of TeX macros and font libraries. + + The distribution includes extensive general documentation about TeX, + as well as the documentation for the included software packages. + + For licensing information, please see the top-level [1]LICENSE.TL and + [2]LICENSE.CTAN text files. + + Where to start + + We strongly recommend that you read the TeX Live Guide before + undertaking the installation. It includes step-by-step instructions, a + description of the top-level directories, and more. + + English versions of the Guide are in the [3]texmf-doc/doc/english/ + hierarchy, in both [4]html and [5]pdf formats. Translations to other + languages are also available under [6]texmf-doc/doc/*. + + For a list of the most important changes in this year's release, see + the Release history section at the end of the documentation. + + Installation + + The installation script is now named install-tl, and has both GUI + (default on Windows) and text (default on everything else) operation + modes. You can force one or the other with the options -gui and + -no-gui, respectively. + + Post-installation package updates and other configuration is now + performed with the tlmgr (TeX Live Package Manager) script, which + likewise has both GUI and text modes. + + Documentation + + Most of the documentation can be viewed online, before the TeX system + is installed. To read it most conveniently, you will need to have a + browser (such as [7]Firefox) for HTML documents, and a PDF reader + (such as [8]gv or [9]xpdf or [10]Sumatra PDF - all free alternatives + to Acrobat) for PDF documents. + + * [11]TeX Live documentation (html). + * [12]Links to all included PDF and HTML documentation. + * The English [13]TeX FAQ ([14]pdf also available). + + Finally, a few related web pages, for your reference. These are not + included in TeX Live: + + * [15]http://tug.org/begin.html - if you are new to TeX and/or want + introductory material. + * [16]http://tug.org/interest.html - general list of TeX web + resources, including documentation, systems, packages, fonts, and + more. + * [17]http://tug.org/ctan.html - one entry point into the + Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN), which is an online + repository of all things TeX. + * [18]http://tug.org/usergroups.html - list of TeX user groups + around the world, with contact information. We strongly encourage + you to join the user group of your choice, to support TeX Live and + other TeX activities. + + Happy TeXing! + _________________________________________________________________ + + [19]TeX Live home page. + +References + + 1. file:LICENSE.TL + 2. file:LICENSE.CTAN + 3. file:texmf-doc/doc/english + 4. file:texmf-doc/doc/english/texlive-en/texlive-en.html + 5. file:texmf-doc/doc/english/texlive-en/texlive-en.pdf + 6. file:texmf-doc/doc/ + 7. http://www.mozilla.org/ + 8. http://tug.org/applications/gv/ + 9. http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/ + 10. http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/ + 11. file:texmf-doc/doc/english/texlive-en/texlive-en.html + 12. file:doc.html + 13. file:texmf-doc/doc/english/FAQ-en/html/ + 14. file:texmf-doc/doc/english/FAQ-en/newfaq.pdf + 15. http://tug.org/begin.html + 16. http://tug.org/interest.html + 17. http://tug.org/ctan.html + 18. http://tug.org/usergroups.html + 19. http://tug.org/texlive/ -- cgit v1.2.3
