Welcome to TeX Live
The TeX Live software distribution offers a complete TeX system for a
variety of GNU and 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.
If you are installing from the DVD image, the Guide in English and all
its translations are in the [3]texlive-doc subdirectory.
After installation, English versions of the Guide are in the
[4]texmf-dist/doc/texlive/ hierarchy, in both [5]html and [6]pdf
formats. Translations to other languages are also available under
[7]texmf-dist/doc/texlive.
We also provide a list of [8]links to the available PDF and HTML
documentation for the included packages and programs.
If you are installing from the Internet, the above links won't work. In
that case, you can view the [9]TeX Live documentation on the Internet.
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 named install-tl and is at the top level of
the directory tree. You can invoke it with perl install-tl. On Windows,
you can also simply run the companion batch file,
install-tl-windows.bat. You can invoke it with perl install-tl. On
Macs, you will probably want to install via [10]MacTeX, which has its
own native installer (it's also available on the DVD, next to the
texlive/ you're in now.)
install-tl has two operation modes:
-gui (default on Windows and Macs) which does a simple installation by
default, using a graphical interface, but allows for advanced
options if desired.
-no-gui (default on everything else) which provides for all available
options, using a simplistic text interface.
Post-installation package updates and other configurations are
performed with the tlmgr (TeX Live Package Manager) program, which
likewise has both GUI and text modes.
You can give the command-line option --help to both [11]install-tl and
[12]tlmgr for detailed information on both programs. See the
documentation links above for (much) more information.
Links
Finally, a few related web pages, for your reference. These are not
included in TeX Live:
* [13]tug.org/begin.html - if you are new to TeX and/or want
introductory material.
* [14]tug.org/interest.html - general list of TeX web resources,
including documentation, systems, packages, fonts, and more.
* [15]tug.org/ctan.html - one entry point into the Comprehensive TeX
Archive Network (CTAN), which is an online repository of all things
TeX.
* [16]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!
