    18   <para>This chapter includes applications that create output equivalent to
    19   typesetting.</para>
     18  <para>This chapter includes <application>texlive</application> applications that
     19  create output equivalent to typesetting.</para>
     20
     21  <para>There are two alternative routes through this chapter:</para>
     22
     23  <para>Some people may wish to use the binary installer, either because of the
     24  complexity of installing all of <application>texlive</application> from
     25  source, or because they only want a part of the package, or perhaps because
     26  they wish to get updates as soon as those are available (the source is only
     27  updated annually). These people should follow the <xref
     28  linkend="tl-installer"/> instructions,. After installing, they can run
     29  <command>tlmgr</command> to update their system.</para>
     30
     31  <para>Most people reading BLFS will wish to build from source. You can either
     32  do as BLFS used to do, by starting with <application>install-tl-unx</application>,
     33  or you can avoid the binary files completely and begin at
     34  <xref linkend="texpass1"/> which will install most of
     35  <application>texlive</application>, together with <emphasis>all</emphasis> of the
     36  supporting files. This almost-complete install is then used to build two
     37  remaining parts of <application>texlive</application>, xindy and asy (that
     38  involves recompiling all of the package, but not reinstalling all of it).</para>
     39
     40  <para>Because the texmf files (including documentation, fonts, scripts and
     41  supporting files) are all in one tarball, it is not practical to limit what
     42  gets extracted in a sensible way (e.g. to exclude one or other of the typesetting
     43  engines).</para>
     44
     45  <para>After that, people building from source will wish to install <xref
     46  linkend="biber"/>, which is supplied separately, to complete the full
     47  installation.</para>
