It encompasses programs for editing, typesetting, previewing and printing of TeX documents in many different languages, and a large collection of TeX macros and font libraries. <p>The distribution includes extensive general documentation about TeX, as well as the documentation for the included software packages. <p>For licensing information, please see the top-level <a href="../LICENSE.TL">LICENSE.TL</a> and <a href="../LICENSE.CTAN">LICENSE.CTAN</a> text files. <h3>Where to start</h3> <p>We strongly recommend that you read the TeX Live Guide before undertaking the installation. It includes step-by-step instructions, a description of the top-level directories, and more. <p>If you are installing from the DVD image, the Guide in English and all the translations are in the <a href="../texlive-doc">texlive-doc</a> subdirectory. <p>After installation, English versions of the Guide are in the <a href="../texmf/doc/texlive/texlive-en">texmf/doc/texlive/</a> hierarchy, in both <a href="../texmf/doc/texlive/texlive-en/texlive-en.html">html</a> and <a href="../texmf/doc/texlive/texlive-en/texlive-en.pdf">pdf</a> formats. Translations to other languages are also available under <a href="../texmf/doc/texlive/">texmf/doc/texlive</a>. <p>We also provide a list of <a href="../doc.html">links to the available PDF and HTML documentation</a> for the included packages and programs. <p>If you are installing from the Internet, the above links won't work. In that case, you can view the <a href="http://tug.org/texlive/doc.html">TeX Live documentation on the Internet</a>. <p>For a list of the most important changes in this year's release, see the <i>Release history</i> section at the end of the documentation. <h3>Installation</h3> <p>The installation script is named <tt>install-tl</tt> (<tt>install-tl.bat</tt> on Windows), and it has three operation modes: <dl> <dt><b>wizard</b></dt> (default on Windows) which asks a bare minimum of questions and installs everything. Can be specified explicitly with <tt>install-tl --gui=wizard</tt>.<p> <dt><b>text</b></dt> (default on everything else) which has full customization options. Can be specified explicitly with <tt>install-tl --gui=text</tt>.<p> <dt><b>perltk</b></dt> which is a GUI for text; especially useful for knowledgeable Windows users who don't want the defaults. Can be specified explicitly with <tt>install-tl --gui=perltk</tt>, or by running <tt>install-tl-advanced.bat</tt> on Windows. </dl> <p>Post-installation package updates and other configurations are performed with the <tt>tlmgr</tt> (TeX Live Package Manager) script, which likewise has both GUI and text modes. <p>You can give the command-line option <tt>--help</tt> to both <a href="http://tug.org/texlive/doc/install-tl.html">install-tl</a> and <a href="http://tug.org/texlive/tlmgr.html">tlmgr</a> for detailed information on both programs. See the documentation links above for (much) more information. <h3>Links</h3> <p>Finally, a few related web pages, for your reference.
