Manual page for INSTALL_TEX(1)
Install_TeX - install TeX for use from distribution media
SYNOPSIS
Install_TeX
DESCRIPTION
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

SEE ALSO

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.
