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
3) post-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 goodies
# 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 goodies 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!
===========================================================================
3) post installation
===========================================================================
Run the command
texconfig confall
and
- verify that all programs are found from the directory containing the
teTeX binaries.
!! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
!! A common problem is mentioning the teTeX
!! binaries too late in your PATH variable so that some utilities
!! from overlooked remnants of an old installation get used.
!! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
- pay attention to any environment variable shown in the last section.
If they point to a different TeX installation, you might get trouble
by that. Unset them and have a look at TETEXDOC.dvi (in $TEXMF/doc/tetex)
and kpathsea.dvi (in $TEXMF/doc/programs).
- if any problem with program x try
which x
to verify if there is another x file in your system.
If you install teTeX for several users, tell your users to check their
environment by the command
texconfig confall
if they run into trouble.
