=== 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 [http://www.tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html here.]. To make it available in our cluster to all users, we have installed it under the account sgmcms in /swmgrs :
<pre>
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
</pre>
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 :
<pre>
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
</pre>

(You'll find the sample in the attachements to this page.)
