- teTeX-0.4 installation instructions (using precompiled binaries)
-
- ===========================================================================
-
- 1) getting the archives
- 2) unpack the files with install.sh or manually:
- a) run install.sh
- b) manual installation
- A) appendix: overview about the files in this distribution
-
- ===========================================================================
- 1) getting the archives
- ===========================================================================
-
- If starting from nil, and you do not wish to recompile the binaries,
- approximately the following sequence of commands will get the files you
- need to install teTeX (replace /usr/local/temp with any temporal directory
- where you have enough free space):
-
- # mkdir /usr/local/temp
- # cd /usr/local/temp
- # mkdir binaries base doc fonts
- # ftp sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de [substitute the archive nearest to you]
- ftp> cd /pub/comp/tex/teTeX/distrib [modify as needed for the given archive]
- ftp> bin
- ftp> dir binaries
- ftp> prompt
- ftp> mget install.sh base doc fonts binaries/i386-linux.tar.gz
- ftp> quit
-
- You should look at the output of the "dir binaries" command and substitute
- the appropriate file(s) in place of "i386-linux.tar.gz".
-
- When you are done with the installation (below), you may go back and delete
- the contents of /usr/local/temp.
-
- ===========================================================================
- 2a) run install.sh
- ===========================================================================
- To run install.sh, you need a sh compatible shell that knows the feature
- of shell functions. /bin/sh is ok on most systems, but on Ultrix, you
- cannot use /bin/sh. Use /bin/sh5 or bash instead. Then run the install.sh
- script with that shell. Similar with AIX-4.x.y: there you can use /bin/bsh
- instead of /bin/sh (which is the korn shell on these systems :-(
-
- Example 1:
- /bin/sh install.sh
-
- Example 2: (Ultrix)
- /bin/sh5 install.sh
-
- Example 3: (AIX-4)
- /bin/bsh install.sh
-
- ===========================================================================
- 2b) manual installation
- ===========================================================================
- - the archives will unpack into a subdirectory teTeX so you do not need
- to create a new subdirectory by hand.
- - cd to the directory where you want to have the teTeX installation, e.g.
- /usr/local:
- cd /usr/local
- - set your umask to 0 to unpack with the correct permissions (or use
- the 'p' flag of tar, but this does not work with some broken tar versions)
- - unpack the archives you want to install (including binaries):
- gzip -dc tetex-base.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
- gzip -dc latex-base.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
- ...
- - you may optionally rename the teTeX directory. Example:
- mv teTeX TeX
- - optionally move the binaries one level up and remove the empty
- subdirectory, if you only want to use teTeX on one platform.
- Example:
- cd teTeX/bin/i386-linux
- mv * ..
- cd ..
- rmdir i386-linux
- You need to adjust the texmf.cnf file, too. See the README in teTeX/bin
- and edit teTeX/texmf.cnf:
- more README
- vi ../texmf.cnf
- - make sure, the binaries are found along your PATH. Either create
- symlinks to a standard directory or change your PATH. Example:
- symlinks:
- ln -s /usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-linux/* /usr/local/bin
- PATH change sh/ksh/bash:
- PATH=/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-linux:$PATH; export PATH
- PATH change csh/tcsh:
- setenv PATH /usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-linux:$PATH
- - run texhash and texconfig and change what you need:
- texhash
- texconfig
- You are done!
