1. The idea behind rpm packages

If you use RedHat Linux or another linux distribution (like Mandrake) which supports the rpm command to install software, it is very easy to install GNU TeXmacs. You can check whether rpm exists on your system using

    which rpm

If the program is not installed, or if you do not have root privilege, then you should ask your system administrator to install GNU TeXmacs, or use the classical installation method.

2. Download, install and run

After downloading the GNU TeXmacs distribution on this CD for PC's under GNU/Linux, you may install the software by typing (as root)

    rpm -i TeXmacs-1.0.3.4-1.i386.rpm

The program can now be launched using

    texmacs &
