<!--l. 4639--><p class="indent"> Postprocessing of files can also be requested with ‘<span class="cmtt-10">X</span>’ scripts. The file names are accessed through the

</p>
<p class="rightline"><span class="cmbx-10">Set the Script Files</span></p> </li>
<li>Ensure proper paths within the htlatex-like scripts in ‘<span class="cmtt-10">~/tex4ht.dir/bin/unix/</span>’. If you use a command different
than <span class="cmtt-10">latex </span>for compiling LaTeX source files, fix also the references to <span class="cmtt-10">latex </span>in the scripts. Check also the
appropriateness of the commands for compiling TeX and TeXi files. <p class="rightline"><span class="cmbx-10">Make the System Globally Known</span></p>
</li>
<li>Inform the operating system where the scripts reside, say, by adding the directory ‘<span class="cmtt-10">~/tex4ht.dir/bin/unix/</span>’ into
the <span class="cmtt-10">path </span>variable within the <span class="cmtt-10">.login </span>file. For instance,
<!--l. 4711--><p class="indent"> <span class="cmtt-10">set path=($path ~/tex4ht.dir/bin/unix/)</span>
</p><!--l. 4714--><p class="noindent"></p></li>
<li>Let LaTeX and TeX know where the new style files reside, say, by adding the directory
‘<span class="cmtt-10">~/tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex/generic/tex4ht/</span>’ to the environment variable <span class="cmtt-10">TEXINPUT</span>. For instance,
<!--l. 4718--><p class="indent"> <span class="cmtt-10">setenv TEXINPUTS .:~/tex4ht.dir/texmf/tex//:/usr/local/share/texmf/tex//</span>
</p><!--l. 4720--><p class="noindent"></p></li>
<li>If your TeX system uses a registry database to locate files, make sure to refresh it (e.g., run texhash for kpathsea, or
mktexlsr for some Linux systems).
<p class="rightline"><span class="cmbx-10">Test the Installation</span></p> </li>
<li>Move <span class="cmtt-10">testa.tex </span>and <span class="cmtt-10">testb.tex </span>from <span class="cmtt-10">~/tex4ht.dir/temp/ </span>to your work directory </li>
<li>Compile ‘<span class="cmtt-10">testa.tex</span>’ with the command ‘<span class="cmtt-10">ht latex testa</span>’ </li>
<li>Compile ‘<span class="cmtt-10">testb.tex</span>’ with the command ‘<span class="cmtt-10">htlatex testb</span>’
