Welcome to TeX Live
The TeX Live software distribution offers a complete TeX system for a
variety of Unix, Macintosh, Windows and other platforms. 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!
