# TeX Live 2024 - pretest repository
This directory contains a network-based installer and packages for
the TeX Live pretest. It is mirrored at several sites;
please use the best one for you.
The current
official release is available from CTAN.
Using the files here is the recommended installation method, as
described on the TeX Live
pretest page. Late in the pretest, giant ISO images are
also available.
If you have problems running TeX after installation, please first
check your environment variables: any settings that end up referencing
other TeX installations (TeX Live or otherwise) usually cause trouble.
Bug reports are especially welcome, since these are test images. Any
problems not found in testing will be present in the real release, so
please test anything you can. In general, please email tex-live@tug.org
with any problems, questions, suggestions. The mailing list archives may be
useful to peruse.
