More detailed installation instructions may be available in the file TUTORIAL.

Support is available by emailing the Easylatex mailing list, easylatex-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.


---------
The quickest way to start using EasyLatex is to just change to the directory which came in the .tar file, and then run 

./quickInstall.pl  

If there are no problems with that, and everything works, then you don't need to read the rest of this file.

---------

Before installing easylatex.pl, you must have Perl installed already. You may want to have the Perl module "Getopt::Declare" installed, too. However, if you don't, easylatex.pl will run fine from this directory (see footnote below)


---------

To install EasyLatex, simply copy the subdirectory "easylatex" to either "/usr/lib/easylatex" or "$HOME/.easylatex", where $HOME is your home directory.

Easylatex WILL NOT RUN if this directory is not copied to one of those two places. Most of the program code is within that directory.

Please note that if there is a directory at "$HOME/.easylatex", but this directory does not contain the contents of the "easylatex" subdirectory, then easylatex will get confused and abort.
 
In case you get confused, just download easylatex again and re-copy the easylatex subdirectory all over again.

Support is available at the mailing list easylatex-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.

footnote: 
 because I have already installed "Getopt::Declare" into this directory as a convenience; however, if you move the file "easylatex.pl", it won't be able to find this directory's Getopt::Declare, so in that case you should do a proper install of Getopt::Declare onto your system.
