<title>Typesetting</title>
<para>This chapter includes <application>texlive</application> applications that
create output equivalent to typesetting.</para>
<para>There are two alternative routes through this chapter:</para>
<para>Some people may wish to use the binary installer, either because of the
complexity of installing all of <application>texlive</application> from
source, or because they only want a part of the package, or perhaps because
they wish to get updates as soon as those are available (the source is only
updated annually). These people should follow the <xref
linkend="tl-installer"/> instructions,. After installing, they can run
<command>tlmgr</command> to update their system.</para>
<para>Most people reading BLFS will wish to build from source. You can either
do as BLFS used to do, by starting with <application>install-tl-unx</application>,
or you can avoid the binary files completely and begin at
<xref linkend="texpass1"/> which will install most of
<application>texlive</application>, together with <emphasis>all</emphasis> of the
supporting files. This almost-complete install is then used to build two
remaining parts of <application>texlive</application>, xindy and asy (that
involves recompiling all of the package, but not reinstalling all of it).</para>
<para>Because the texmf files (including documentation, fonts, scripts and
supporting files) are all in one tarball, it is not practical to limit what
gets extracted in a sensible way (e.g. to exclude one or other of the typesetting
engines).</para>
<para>After that, people building from source will wish to install <xref
linkend="biber"/>, which is supplied separately, to complete the full
installation.</para>
