    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, but the binaries and associated tex and sty files are updated
    28   for approximately 10 months). These people should begin at <xref
    29   linkend="tex-path"/> and then follow the <xref linkend="tl-installer"/>
    30   instructions,. After installing, they can run
    31   <command>tlmgr</command> to update their system.</para>
    32 
    33   <para>Most people reading BLFS will wish to build from source. BLFS used to
    34   start by installing <application>install-tl-unx</application> and then use that
    35   to bootstrap the build.  Nowadays, we build almost the whole of
    36   <application>texlive</application> <emphasis>without</emphasis> a binary install,
    37   by adding the separately-packaged texmf files into this build.  For this, begin
    38   at <xref linkend="tex-path"/> then go to <xref linkend="texlive"/> which will
    39   install most of
    40   <application>texlive</application>, together with <emphasis>all</emphasis> of the
    41   supporting files. This almost-complete install can then be used to build the
    42   remaining parts of <application>texlive</application>: <xref
    43   linkend="asymptote"/>, <xref linkend="biber"/> and <xref linkend="xindy"/>.
     18  <para>
     19    This chapter includes <application>texlive</application> applications that
     20    create output equivalent to typesetting.
    4421  </para>
    4522
    46   <para>Because the texmf files (including documentation, fonts, scripts and
    47   supporting files) are all in one tarball, it is not practical to limit what
    48   gets extracted in a sensible way  (you could exclude one or other of the
    49   typesetting engines, not its many supporting files) when building from source
    50   in this manner.</para>
     23  <para>
     24    There are two alternative routes through this chapter:
     25  </para>
    5126
    52   <para>In either case, BLFS installs into
    53   <filename class="directory">/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;</filename>.</para>
     27  <para>
     28    Some people may wish to use the binary installer, either because of the
     29    complexity of installing all of <application>texlive</application> from
     30    source, or because they only want a part of the package, or perhaps because
     31    they wish to get updates as soon as those are available (the source is only

     36    update their system.
     37  </para>
    5438
    55   <para>Also, please note that texlive is released annually, and updating from the
    56   previous year to the current year is no longer supported. If for some reason
    57   you wish to keep versions for multiple years, for most things you can mount the
    58   old or new system at /opt/texlive and fix up your PATH as necessary. However
    59   doing that will not preserve any changes in <filename
    60   class="directory">texmf-local</filename> and if you build from source and try to
    61   run a newer version of <application>biber</application> with an older version of
    62   <application>biblatex</application> it is unlikely to work.</para>
