The latex can be installed by following instruction:
Followings are showing how I installed for example.
# wget http://carroll.aset.psu.edu/pub/CTAN/systems/texlive/tlnet/install-tl-unx.tar.gz # tar -xvzf install-tl-unx.tar.gz # cd install-tl-20091126 # ./install-tl
While running “install-tl”, I used ‘D’ option to change the directory to be installed, and ‘O’ to select ‘use letter size instead of A4 by default’ option.
It took around 1 hour to be installed. I have installed it in “~/texlive/” and latex and divpng are installed in “~/texlive/bin/x86_64-linux”
If you want to test the latex, please do
# latex small2e
It will give small2e.dvi in your directory. Using dvipng tool, you can make it gif or png image file.
hello, where should these commands be runned? Does it need special ftp client?
I used ssh for those command, which provided by the hosting company. Otherwise, phpshell would be alternative, but I have not tried it.
I want to buy a host for installing TeXLive, how much disk space should it have? what specifity should host have?
Hi Vahid,
TexLive is the Latex I have mentioned in http://blog.breadncup.com/2009/11/27/installing-mathtex-cgi/. You can refer to it for the size.
The requirement of TexLive, you may refer to http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html.
