Thus you can directly unpack the ZIP file inside a TDS tree. See https://www.ctan.org/TDS-guidelines for an explanation of TDS. Example: cd /...somewhere.../texmf unzip /...downloadpath.../uri.tds.zip Do not forget to refresh the file name database of this TDS tree. Example: texhash /...somewhere.../texmf Manual installation ------------------- a) Download the uri files from CTAN. If necessary, unpack them. b) Generate the package and driver files: tex uri.ins c) Install the file `uri.sty' in your TDS tree: cp uri.sty TDS:tex/latex/uri/ Replace `TDS:' by the prefix of your TDS tree (texmf directory). d) Create the documentation, if necessary, e.g. pdflatex uri.dtx makeindex -s gind.ist uri.idx pdflatex uri.dtx makeindex -s gind.ist uri.idx pdflatex uri.dtx e) Update the databases if necessary, e.g. for teTeX: mktexlsr .../texmf f) Create the uri-example.pdf, if necessary, e.g. pdflatex uri-example.tex pdflatex uri-example.tex pdflatex uri-example.tex g) Copy the documentation files to "TDS:doc/latex/uri/": README, uri.pdf, uri-example.tex, uri-example.pdf. 4 ADDITIONAL PACKAGES ===================== Depending on the driver and option settings, uri loads other packages: * kvoptions.sty: https://ctan.org/pkg/kvoptions * url.sty: https://ctan.org/pkg/url which again load other packages (see the result of the \listfiles command in the log-file of the example). 5 PACKAGE COMPATIBILITY ======================= uri should be loaded AFTER package hyperref, if hyperlinks are wanted, and BEFORE package hyperref, if hyperlinks are not wanted. When any of the packages aurl, doi, doipubmed is used, there might be conflicts or results might depend on order of loading. 6 AUTHOR/MAINTAINER =================== H.-Martin Münch 7 BUG REPORTS ============= A bug report should contain: * Comprehensive problem description. This includes error or warning messages. * \errorcontextlines=\maxdimen can be added in the TeX code to get more information in TeX error messages. * Minimal test file that shows the problem, but does not contain any unnecessary packages and code. * Used drivers/programs. * Version information about used packages and programs. * If you are using LaTeX, then add "\listfiles". Then a list of version information is printed at the end of the LaTeX run. * Please no other files than the minimal test file. The other files .log, .dvi, .ps, .pdf are seldom necessary, so send them only on request. * Please .zip or .tar.gz your file(s) before sending them! Bug address ----------- Bug reports can be send to the maintainer: H.-Martin Münch 8 KNOWN PROBLEMS ================ When any of the packages aurl, doi, doipubmed is used, there might be conflicts or results might depend on order of loading.
