Downloading SEGTeX

The next step is to download the SEGTEXclass files, which tells LATEXhow to build certain documents that we commonly use. To download SEGTEXfirst cd to a directory where LATEXcan find additional class files. This directory is typically operating system dependent, and may be distribution dependent for Linux. Typically, you can place these files in $HOME/texmf. Otherwise, you will need to place them in the root installation for Latex which can be found by searching for the basic class files, such as article.cls. On a Mac the typical place to put these files is $HOME/Library/texmf. In any case, once you are in the proper location, then use the following command to download the class files (using subversion):

svn co https://segtex.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/segtex/trunk texmf
or download a stable release from http://sourceforge.net/projects/segtex/files/ and unpack it into the texmf directory.
