Before starting to build TeX Live, set up your PATH so that the
system can properly find the files. If you set up your login scripts
as recommended in The Bash Shell Startup
Files, update the needed paths by appending to the extrapaths.sh script. The programs are always
installed in an <ARCH>-linux subdirectory and on 32-bit x86
this is always i386-linux. For x86_64 and i?86 we can generate this
as $TEXARCH:
export TEXARCH=$(uname -m | sed -e 's/i.86/i386/' -e 's/$/-linux/') &&
cat >> /etc/profile.d/extrapaths.sh << EOF
# Begin texlive addition
pathappend /opt/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/doc/man MANPATH
pathappend /opt/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/doc/info INFOPATH
pathappend /opt/texlive/2017/bin/$TEXARCH
# End texlive addition
EOF
unset TEXARCH
The new paths can be immediately activated by running source /etc/profile.
You should now proceed either to install-tl-unx for a binary installation of texlive, or to texlive-20170524 to begin installing from source.
