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 full distribution (for
example, on the DVD) 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/*.
We also provide a list of [7]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 [8]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 now named install-tl (that's install-tl.bat
on Windows), and it 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 configurations are now
performed with the tlmgr (TeX Live Package Manager) script, which
likewise has both GUI and text modes.
You can give the command-line option --help to both install-tl and
tlmgr for an overview. 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:
* [9]http://tug.org/begin.html - if you are new to TeX and/or want
introductory material.
* [10]http://tug.org/interest.html - general list of TeX web
resources, including documentation, systems, packages, fonts, and
more.
* [11]http://tug.org/ctan.html - one entry point into the
Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN), which is an online
repository of all things TeX.
* [12]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!
