|

| 35 | TeX document production system. It includes TEX, LaTeX2e, ConTEXt,
|
---|
| 36 | Metafont, MetaPost, BibTeX and many other programs; an extensive collection

|
---|
| 41 | This will provide the programs, the scripts, and a lot of supporting files
|
---|
| 42 | and documentation. After that, you can rebuild the programs from source
|
---|
| 43 | by following the instructions for <xref linkend="texlive"/>. The installer
|
---|
| 44 | is updated frequently, so its md5sum will change if it is newer than what
|
---|
| 45 | is shown below. Newer versions of the installer are expected to work with
|
---|
| 46 | these instructions, for so long as they install to a
|
---|
