| 18 | Before starting to build TeX Live, set up your PATH so
|
|---|
| 19 | that the system can properly find the files. If you set up your login
|
|---|
| 20 | scripts as recommended in <xref linkend='postlfs-config-profile'/>, update
|
|---|
| 21 | the needed paths by creating the
|
|---|
| 22 | <filename>texlive.sh</filename> script. The programs are always
|
|---|
| 23 | installed in an <ARCH>-linux subdirectory and on 32-bit x86 this is
|
|---|
| 24 | always i386-linux. For x86_64 and i?86 we can generate this as $TEXARCH:

| 29 | If upgrading from a previous year's version, you should manually
|
|---|
| 30 | edit <filename>texlive.sh</filename> to ensure that the version for
|
|---|
| 31 | the year you wish to use is the only TeX present (some people need to
|
|---|
| 32 | keep multiple years available to ensure there are no regressions in
|
|---|
| 33 | their documents).

| 60 | ensure they are included. If they are already set in the boot script
