37 | Metafont, MetaPost, BibTeX and many other programs; an extensive collection

42 | This will provide the programs, the scripts, and a lot of supporting files
|

43 | and documentation. After that, you can rebuild most of the programs from source
|
---|
44 | by following the instructions for <xref linkend="texlive"/>. The installer
|
---|
45 | is updated frequently, so its md5sum will change if it is newer than what
|

46 | is shown below. Newer versions of the installer are expected to work with
