    <title>Installation of TeX Live</title>

    <para>Before building <application>TeX Live</application>, the macros and
    fonts package (<filename>texmf</filename> tarball) must be installed and
    two temporary symbolic links need to be created. Install the macros, fonts
    and symlinks using the following commands as the
    <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>tar xf ../texlive-&texlive-version;-texmf.tar.xz \

ln -v -s share/texmf      /usr &amp;&amp;
ln -v -s share/texmf-dist /usr</userinput></screen>

    <para>Install <application>TeX Live</application> by running the following
    commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>sed -i -e 's|PARENT/\.\./texmf-local|PARENT/texmf-local|' \
       -e 's|\$TEXMFVAR/fonts|/var/lib/livetex/fonts|'    \

    <command>ln -v -s share/texmf-dist /usr</command> &amp;
    <command>rm -v /usr/texmf{,-dist}</command>: These commands are used to
    create and then remove temporary symbolic links so that files are not
    installed in
    <filename class="directory">/usr/texmf{,-dist}</filename></para>

    <para><command>sed -i -e '...' -e '...' texk/kpathsea/texmf.cnf</command>:
    This command is used to modify the default so that local items are
    installed in <filename class="directory">/usr/share/texmf-local</filename>
    instead of <filename class="directory">/usr/texmf-local</filename>. It also
    changes the path for user-installed fonts to the run-time variable location
    <filename class="directory">/var/lib/livetex/fonts</filename>.</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-native-texlive-build</parameter>: This parameter
    is required if the build is not for a binary distribution.</para>

    <para><parameter>--without-luatex</parameter>: This parameter is required
    if the <application>Lua</application> programming language is not 
    installed. Remove this parameter if <application>Lua</application> is
    installed.</para>

    <para><parameter>--enable-mktextex-default</parameter>: This parameter
    is used so that TeX will automatically invoke mktextex if TeX source is
    missing.</para>

    <para><parameter>--with-banner-add=" - BLFS"</parameter>: This parameter
    is used so that the build can be easily recognized as a non-TUG binary
    build.</para>

    <para><option>--with-system-...</option> &amp;
    <option>--with-libgs-includes=/usr/include/ghostscript</option>: These
    options are required to use any system-installed libraries. Run
    <command>./configure --help</command> to see a full list of available
    options.</para>

    <para><command>for FN in `...`; do ...; done</command>This command is
    used to change the installed symbolic links to point to scripts installed
    in <filename class="directory">/usr/share/texmf</filename> instead of
    <filename class="directory">/usr/texmf</filename>.</para>
