所需要的主要文件是:

• foiltex.tar.gz
• j2re-1_4_1_02-linux-i586.bin
• oberdiek.tar.gz
• ppower4-0.9.4p0.tar

• 第一步. 以根用户, 直接运行第二个文件(j2re-1_4_1_02-linux-i586.bin), 假设其有可执行权限. 检查目录/usr/local/下是否出现了一个 新的目录"j2re1.4.1_02".
• 第二步. 运行:

  cd /usr/

  tar xvf /home/hztang/soft/ppower4/ppower4-0.9.4p0.tar

  则在当前目录下产生下列文件或目录:

  +CONTENTS

  +COMMENT

  +DESC

  bin/ppower4

  share/java/pp4p.jar

  share/texmf-local/doc/latex/ppower4/example.1

  share/texmf-local/doc/latex/ppower4/example.2

  share/texmf-local/doc/latex/ppower4/example.3

  share/texmf-local/doc/latex/ppower4/example.4

  share/texmf-local/doc/latex/ppower4/example.5

  share/texmf-local/doc/latex/ppower4/example.6

  share/texmf-local/doc/latex/ppower4/example.7

  share/texmf-local/doc/latex/ppower4/leveldemo.tex

  share/texmf-local/doc/latex/ppower4/manual.pdf

  share/texmf-local/tex/latex/ppower4/background.sty

  share/texmf-local/tex/latex/ppower4/mpmulti.sty

  share/texmf-local/tex/latex/ppower4/pause.sty

  share/texmf-local/tex/latex/ppower4/pp4link.sty

  share/texmf-local/tex/latex/ppower4/pp4slide.sty

  强烈建议将目录/usr/share/texmf-local/tex/latex/ppower4 移动到/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/处(即执行 mv   /usr/share/texmf-local/tex/latex/ppower4   /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/), 将目录/usr/share/texmf-local/doc移动到/usr/share/texmf/处 (即执行 mv   /usr/share/texmf-local/doc   /usr/share/texmf/) 并将目录/usr/share/texmf-local 删除掉(即执行 rmdir   /usr/share/texmf-local).

• 第三步. 执行如下操作:

  cd /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/

  tar zxvf /home/hztang/soft/ppower4/foiltex.tar.gz

  tar zxvf /home/hztang/soft/ppower4/oberdiek.tar.gz

• 第四步. 修改下列文件 /usr/bin/ppower4为

  ---

  #!/bin/sh

  # $OpenBSD: ppower4,v 1.1.1.1 2003/05/11 17:14:51 sturm Exp $

  /usr/local/j2re1.4.1_02/bin/java -jar /usr/share/java/pp4p.jar "$@"

  ---

• 第五步. 运行texhash自动完成tex系统的设置.
  现成的几个例子可以参见/usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/ppower4/.
  我这里提供的是一个中文例子: talk-2004-08m.tex, 以及所需要的图形文件step-godunov.pdf.

  编译和显示顺序是:

  pdflatex talk-2004-08m

  ppower4 talk-2004-08m.pdf talk.pdf

  acroread talk.pdf

  说明: 假设你已经安装了CJK和CJK字体. 如果你没安装, 可以从ftp://ftp.cc.ac.cn/pub/cct/CJK/处下载 并安装.

• Windows 下安装

  (1) 安装 SUN_java 1.4.0 (SUN_java_setup.zip)
      For example, "C:\Program Files\Java"
  
  (2) 将ppower4.bat 拷贝到c:\ctex\winedt
  
  LATEX文件(*.tex)中就可以输入中文， 如果文件
  中使用了\usepackage{CJKCCT}
  
  
  ==============ppower4.bat==========================================
  @ECHO OFF
  REM You must define path for pp4p.jar and name of the java command
  REM Here the settings for the Sun Java Runtime Environment on my machine
  REM NOTE: This requires Java 1.2.x!

  ====================================================================
  
  
  For Linux/UNix, : a shell script "ppower4" (see ppower4.txt) 
  to run the software under Unix. It needs to be modified to 
  know the location of your copy of the pp4p.jar file.
