For further information on installing LaTeX packages see: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=installthings INSTALLING FROM TDS =================== Files in tex and doc directories should go in the corresponding TEXMF directories (for example, /usr/share/texmf-local/ or C:\localtexmf\). *Remember to refresh TeX's database* Example (on UNIX like systems): unzip datatool.tds.zip -d ~/texmf/ texhash ~/texmf/ INSTALLING FROM DTX AND INS =========================== Run LaTeX on datatool.ins to generate the package style files: latex datatool.ins To create the package documentation (datatool.pdf): pdflatex datatool.dtx makeindex -s gind.ist datatool.idx pdflatex datatool.dtx pdflatex datatool.dtx If TEXMF denotes the base directory of your local TeX installation (e.g. /usr/share/texmf-local/ or C:\localtexmf\) then create the following directories (if they don't already exist): TEXMF/doc/latex/datatool TEXMF/doc/latex/datatool/samples TEXMF/tex/latex/datatool Move the sample files (*.tex) to TEXMF/doc/latex/datatool/sample/ Move the documentation (*.pdf) to TEXMF/doc/latex/datatool/ Move style files (*.sty) to TEXMF/tex/latex/datatool/ *Remember to refresh TeX's database*
