Installing Tex Live - short readme
«For typical needs, we recommend starting the TeX Live installation by
downloading [...] install-tl-unx.tar.gz (3.3mb).»
[http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/install-tl-unx.tar.gz]
«Once you have the software, run the install-tl script to install (on
Windows, install-tl-windows), like this:»
cd /your/download/directory
./install-tl
[... messages omitted ...]
Enter command: i
If you get an error about permissions in the second step, you may have
to do
sudo ./install.tl
«After the installation finishes, you must add the directory of TeX Live
binaries to your PATH—except on Windows, where the installer takes care
of this. For example:
PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2015/bin/i386-linux:$PATH
Use the syntax for your shell, your installation directory, and your
binary platform name instead of i386-linux.»
[E.g. put the relevant line in your ~/.bashrc file.]
