=========================================================================== 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! =========================================================================== A) appendix: overview about the files in this distribution =========================================================================== The installation script: install.sh The packages that contain the binaries: filename platform -------------------------------------------------------------------------- binaries/alpha-linux.tar.gz DEC Alpha/Linux binaries/alpha-osf3.2.tar.gz DEC Alpha/Digital Unix 3.2 binaries/alpha-osf4.0.tar.gz DEC Alpha/Digital Unix 4.0 binaries/c1-bsd.tar.gz Convex C-110 binaries/c2-bsd.tar.gz Convex C-210 binaries/hppa-nextstep3.tar.gz HPPA/NEXTSTEP 3 binaries/hppa1.1-hpux10.tar.gz HPPA/HP-UX 10.xx binaries/hppa1.1-hpux9.tar.gz HPPA/HP-UX 9.xx binaries/i386-freebsd2.1.5.tar.gz Intel x86/FreeBSD 2.1.5 binaries/i386-linux.tar.gz Intel x86/Linux (ELF) binaries/i386-linuxaout.tar.gz Intel x86/Linux (a.out) binaries/i386-nextstep3.tar.gz Intel x86/NEXTSTEP 3 binaries/i386-solaris2.5.tar.gz Intel x86/Solaris2.5 binaries/m68k-hpux9.tar.gz HP 400/HP-UX 9.xx binaries/m68k-nextstep3.tar.gz Motorola 68k/NEXTSTEP 3 binaries/mab-nextstep3.tar.gz NEXTSTEP (NeXT,Intel,HP-PA,SPARC) binaries/mips-irix5.3.tar.gz SGI Irix 5.3 binaries/mips-irix6.2.tar.gz SGI Irix 6.2 binaries/mips-ultrix4.3.tar.gz Mips/Ultrix 4.3 binaries/rs6000-aix4.1.4.tar.gz IBM RS6000 AIX 4.1.4 binaries/rs6000-aix4.2.0.tar.gz IBM RS6000 AIX 4.2.0 binaries/sparc-nextstep3.tar.gz SUN Sparc/NEXTSTEP 3 binaries/sparc-solaris2.4.tar.gz SUN Sparc/Solaris 2.4 binaries/sparc-solaris2.5.tar.gz SUN Sparc/Solaris 2.5 binaries/sparc-sunos4.1.3.tar.gz SUN Sparc/SunOS 4.1.3 filename content -------------------------------------------------------------------------- base/latex-base.tar.gz a basic LaTeX system, needs tetex-base base/tetex-base.tar.gz a basic TeX system filename content -------------------------------------------------------------------------- goodies/amstex.tar.gz more mathematics for TeX goodies/bibtex.tar.gz a tool to make a bibliography for (La)TeX goodies/eplain.tar.gz expanded plain TeX goodies/latex-extra.tar.gz a lot of extra packages for LaTeX goodies/metapost.tar.gz the MetaPost system goodies/pictex.tar.gz portable pictures with (La)TeX goodies/pstricks.tar.gz PostScript macros for generic TeX goodies/texdraw.tar.gz PostScript drawings for TeX goodies/xypic.tar.gz typesetting graphs and diagrams in TeX filename documentation -------------------------------------------------------------------------- doc/ams-doc.tar.gz d. about AMS fonts, AMSLaTeX and AMSTeX doc/bibtex-doc.tar.gz d. about the bibtex program doc/eplain-doc.tar.gz d. for the expanded plain format doc/fonts-doc.tar.gz font related documentation doc/general-doc.tar.gz TeX-FAQ, ftp locations, TDS, ... doc/generic-doc.tar.gz d. for macros usable with several TeX formats, e.g. babel, xypic, texdraw. doc/latex-doc.tar.gz much documentation about LaTeX doc/makeindex-doc.tar.gz a general purpose index formater doc/metapost-doc.tar.gz d. about MetaPost doc/programs-doc.tar.gz Kpathsea, dvipsk, makeinfo, texinfo filename fonts -------------------------------------------------------------------------- fonts/ams-fonts.tar.gz AMS-fonts fonts/dc-fonts.tar.gz DC-fonts fonts/misc-fonts.tar.gz bbm, bbold, concrete, gothic, pandora, rsfs, stmary, wasy fonts/postscript-fonts.tar.gz PostScript fonts (Adobe, Bitstream) fonts/sauter-fonts.tar.gz sauter fonts
