== Install a [[MetaPost]] update ==
Update MetaPost is strongly recommended!
The included MetaPost in teTeX is a bit outdated. If you want, you can
fetch and install the latest MetaPost from sarovar. The current release is 0.901.
Just download the source tarball from the [[http://sarovar.org/projects/metapost project page]]
From the directory where you downloaded the archive file, execute the following
series of commands:
<code>
# tar xjf metapost-0.901.tar.bz2
# cd metapost-0.901
# ./Build
# mkdir -p /usr/local/share/texmf/metapost/base
# cp texmf/metapost/base/* /usr/local/share/texmf/metapost/base
# cd build/texk/web2c
# cp -f mpost dvitomp mpware/dmp mpware/mpto mpware/newer mpware/makempx \
/usr/local/bin
# cp -f mp.pool /usr/local/share/texmf/web2c
# texhash
# fmtutil-sys --byfmt mpost
</code>
metapost is best got from texlive-metapost package
Make sure you install the texlive-metapost package if you do not have it already.
