INSTALL_TEX(1)INSTALL_TEX(1)NAMEInstall_TeX - install TeX for use from distribution media
SYNOPSISInstall_TeXDESCRIPTION
The Install_TeX shell script uncompresses, untars, and installs the TeX
and METAFONT software system from the distribution file. It must be
run as root; it will abort if it is not. It can be run multiple times
in case something should happen to the installation. It does not
currently remove the distribution file /usr/tex/TeXdist.tar.Z; this
file may be removed when everything is functioning correctly to reclaim
a small amount of disk space.
When this shell script is run, there must be approximately twenty
megabytes of space on the file system for all the various files that
are created.
FILES
/usr/tex/TeXdist.tar.Z the compressed distribution.
/usr/lib/tex the root of the created TeX library
/usr/lib/mf the root of the created mf library
/NextLibrary/Fonts/TeXFonts where the fonts are placed
/LocalLibrary/Fonts/TeXFonts where dynamically created fonts are
placed /usr/bin where most executables created are stored
SEE ALSOtex(1), dvips(1), texview(1), mf(1)DIAGNOSTICS
This program will complain and abort if it is not run as superuser. If
any of the directories that are to be created exist, a warning will be
printed and the user will be asked if he or she wishes to continue.
BUGS
If this program is run when less then about twenty megabytes of disk
space is free, it may abort at any point, or possibly even appear to
run to completion.
