[fa3edfef] | 31 | <para>
|
---|
| 32 | The <application>TeX Live</application> package is a comprehensive
|
---|
[29c5331] | 33 | TeX document production system. It includes TeX, LaTeX2e, LuaLaTeX,
|
---|
[fa3edfef] | 34 | Metafont, MetaPost, BibTeX and many other programs; an extensive
|
---|
| 35 | collection of macros, fonts and documentation; and support for
|
---|
| 36 | typesetting in many different scripts from around the world.

| 38 |
|
---|
| 39 | <para>
|
---|
| 40 | This page is for people who wish to use the binary installer to
|
---|
| 41 | provide the programs, the scripts, and a lot of supporting files and
|
---|
[27885e7] | 42 | documentation. The installer is updated frequently, so any published
|
---|
| 43 | md5sum will soon be out of date. Newer versions of the
|
---|
[fa3edfef] | 44 | installer are expected to work with these instructions, for so long as
|
---|
| 45 | they install to a
|
---|
| 46 | <filename class="directory">&texlive-year;/</filename> directory.

[150482f] | 49 | <para>
|
---|
| 50 | There are two reasons why you may wish to install the binaries in BLFS:
|
---|
| 51 | either you need a smaller install (e.g. at a minimum plain TeX without
|
---|
[29c5331] | 52 | LaTeX, ConTeXt, etc), or you wish to use <command>tlmgr</command> to
|
---|
| 53 | get updates whilst this version is supported (typically, until March of
|
---|
[150482f] | 54 | the year after it was released). For the latter, you might prefer to
|
---|
| 55 | install in your <filename class="directory">/home</filename> directory
|
---|
| 56 | as an unprivileged user, and to then make corresponding changes to the
|
---|
| 57 | PATH in your <filename>~/.bashrc</filename> or equivalent.

| 62 | If you wish to use ConTeXt with <command>luametatex</command> (most of
|
---|
| 63 | the old MKII and MKIV code was removed from TeXLive 2023 by the ConTeXt
|
---|
| 64 | developer), using the binary is probably the easiest option. The source
|
---|
| 65 | no-longer ships with TeXLive and is poorly adapted to building with
|
---|
[0c60ebd9] | 66 | systems except those running Mac and Windows. See comments 1 to 5 of

[ed3707e] | 215 | problems. For example, if your x86_64 processor does not support 3dnowext or

[fa3edfef] | 216 | 3dnow, the 2014-06-28 binary failed in conTeXt when running LuaTeX,

| 217 | although lualatex worked, as did the i686 binaries on the same
