 ====== Installation of TeX Live ======
+For Windows systems, there are two established installation packages for TeX: TeX Live and MiKTeX. This page describes the installation procedure for TeX Live. MiKTeX runs just as smoothly, but the configuration of [[texworksconfiguration|TeXWorks]] and [[jabrefconfiguration|JabRef]] are also required.

+You can download the installer **install-tl-windows.exe** from the [[http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html|TeX Users Group website]]. Navigate to your Downloads folder and double-click on the installer to start the installation of TeX Live.

+The default settings that come with our template are adequate for the installation program and no modification is required. The files for TeX systems will be downloaded from the Internet during the installation process, which, depending on the speed of your Internet connection, can take some time to complete.
-You can download a ZIP-Archiv **install-tl.zip** from the [[http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html|TeX Users Group website]]. You will need to unpack the files if this is not done automatically. In the subfolder **install-tl-date** you will then double-click on the batch file **install-tl**. This then starts the installation program for TeX Live.

+Once the program has been installed, **TeX Live Manager** will appear on the start screen. The TeX distribution itself will be installed under **C:\texlive** as long as no other directory has been selected.

+===== Updating TeX Live Manager =====
+As a first step after the installation you should open the **TeX Live Manager** and update the manager itself as well as the TeX installation on your system. Start the program **TeX Live Manager**.

+Here, you can edit the general settings of the TeX installation, but for now, we will only update the installation. If the button **Update tlmgr** is active, press it and wait until the process has finished:

-Once the program has been installed, **TeX Live** will appear in your start menu. The TeX distribution itself will be installed under **c:\\texlive** as long as no other directory has been selected.
+===== Updating TeX packages =====
-===== Updating TeX Live =====
+In order to update packages, select **Updatable** from the Status menu in the Package list, press **Mark all** and then the button **Update marked** on the right hand side.

-Due to a minor fault in the standard installation package of BibLaTex, you must update the TeX infrastructure before using the EOA template. In order to do this, start the program TeX Live Manager 2013 in the start menu. This program connects with the Internet and downloads a list of available updates. Use the **Update all installed** button to begin the update process. This process can take a few minutes.
+You should repeat these two steps from time to time to keep the installation up to date. A new version of TeX Live is released every year in Spring.
