15 | Before starting to build TeX Live, set up your PATH so
|
---|
16 | that the system can properly find the files. If you set up your login
|
---|
17 | scripts as recommended in <xref linkend='postlfs-config-profile'/>, update
|
---|
18 | the needed paths by creating the
|
---|
19 | <filename>texlive.sh</filename> script. The programs are always
|
---|
20 | installed in an <ARCH>-linux subdirectory and on 32-bit x86 this is
|
---|
21 | always i386-linux. For x86_64 and i?86 we can generate this as $TEXARCH:

26 | If upgrading from a previous year's version, you should manually

27 | edit <filename>texlive.sh</filename> to ensure that the version for
|
---|
28 | the year you wish to use is the only TeX present (some people need to
|

29 | keep multiple years available to ensure there are no regressions in
|
---|
30 | their documents).
