Unfortunately I am no computer expert and I don't know how to provide detailed installation instructions for every system out there (let alone create a script for that purpose). Instead I will provide what has worked for me using TeX Live as bundled for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, as well as a reference to Stack Exchange. Note also that the frege package requires both the "amssymb" package and the "ifthen" package to be installed. These are both fairly common and will come with most versions of LaTeX. If you want to use the bguq option you will also need to install the "bguq" package, which may be found on ctan (http://www.ctan.org/pkg/bguq). To install I place the frege.sty file in either one of the following locations: /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/frege/ /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/frege/ One way to find the above paths on your system is to use the kpsewhich command in conjunction with a standard latex class. Enter the following into the terminal while in the root directory (get there by typing "cd /" and hitting enter): kpsewhich article.cls This should return something like: /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/base/article.cls of which you need everything up to the latex/ copying the frege.sty file to one of these locations as well as creating a frege/ directory will require sudo priveliges. Type the following into Terminal (adjusting the as needed and hitting enter after each line): sudo mkdir /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/frege sudo cp /frege.sty /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/frege/frege.sty once you have done that you will need to navigate to your ls-R file: cd /usr/local/share/texmf this path may once again be found using the kpsewhich command as follows: kpsewhich ls-R once you are in the directory containting the ls-R file type the following: sudo mktexlsr the package is now installed and may be used by placing the following in the preamble of a tex file: \usepackage{frege} In case this is completely unhelpful to you (for example because you are using some completely different version of LaTeX in a completely different operating system I suggest turning to Stack Exchange for help (http://tex.stackexchange.com/).
