    <title>Introduction to TeX Live from source</title>

    <para>Most of TeX Live can be built from source without a pre-existing
    installation, but <application>xindy</application> (for indexing) needs
    working versions of <command>latex</command> and <command>pdflatex</command>
    when configure is run, and the testsuite and install for
    <command>asy</command> (for vector graphics) will fail if TeX has not
    already been installed. Additionally, <application>biber</application> is
    not provided within the <application>texlive</application> source.</para>

    <para>All of those packages are dealt with on their own pages and can be
    built after installing this package. If you have not already done so, you
    should start at <xref linkend="tex-path"/> so that the final commands to
    initialise the new installation will be found.</para>

      <para>Much of the texlive environment (including scripts, documentation,
      fonts and various other files) is not part of the source tarball. You must
      download it separately. This will give you all of the additional files
      which are provided by a full install of the binary version, there is no
      realistic way to restrict which parts get installed.</para>

      <para>
        Because of the size of this package, it is unlikely to be mirrored by

    <para>The shared libraries will be installed into a texlive directory.
    As the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user, add it to

    <note>
      <para>
        From 2015 onwards, a successful install requires some texlive
        commands to be run as the root user, so we will export the TEXARCH
        variable to let <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> use it.

      Now, as a normal user:

    <note>
      <para>
        Only run <command>make texlinks</command> once. If it is rerun,
        it can change all the program symlinks so that they point to

      <parameter>tar -xf texlive-&texmf-version;-texmf.tar.xz -C /opt/texlive/&texlive-year; --strip-components=1</parameter>:
      the tarball contains the files for the texmf-dist directory, and because
      of its size we do not want to waste time and space untarring it and then
      copying the files.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>patch -Np1 -i /sources/texlive-&texlive-version;-texmf...</parameter>:
      This fixes various problems in epstopdf which were found after the source
      was released and are included in the binary installer.  Because this is
      applied to the installated texmf (to minimise disk space) it is necessary

    <para>
      <parameter>install -v -m644 ../texk/tests/TeXLive/*

      modules <filename>TLConfig.pm</filename> and <filename>TLUtils.pm</filename>
      into the directory where the binary installer puts them - it is at the
      start of the perl @INC@ PATH within texlive when installed using the above
      configure switches. Without these modules, texlive is unusable.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>mktexlsr</parameter>: Create an <filename>ls-R</filename> file
