What happened to Tetex ?
Tetex is not available anymore in the SL6 repositories. So, we have to find some valid alternatives for users.
Tex Live
The installation is explained here.. To make it available in our cluster to all users, we have installed it under the account sgmcms in /swmgrs :
su - sgmcms cd /swmgrs/cmss wget http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/install-tl-unx.tar.gz tar xvzf install-tl-unx.tar.gz cd install-tl-20140624 ./install-tl
The installation script is interactive. Take care of changing the installation directories so that they are located in /swmgrs. Once the installation is finished, log in on a UI and test it :
export INFOPATH=$INFOPATH:/jefmount_mnt/jefmount/cmss/install-tl-20140624/R/texmf-dist/doc/info export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/jefmount_mnt/jefmount/cmss/install-tl-20140624/R/texmf-dist/doc/man export PATH=$PATH:/jefmount_mnt/jefmount/cmss/install-tl-20140624/R/bin/x86_64-linux latex sample.tex dvipdf sample.dvi
(You'll find the sample in the attachements to this page.)
