(A copy of this chapter is in the distribution file `dvipsk/INSTALL'.)
Installing Dvips is mostly the same as installing any Kpathsea-using program. Therefore, for the basic steps involved, see section `Installation' in Kpathsea. (A copy is in the file `kpathsea/INSTALL'.)
For solutions to common installation problems and information on how to report a bug, see the file `kpathsea/BUGS' (see section `Bugs' in Kpathsea). For solutions to Dvips-specific problems, see section Debug options. Also see the Dvips home page at @url{http://www.radicaleye.com/dvips}.
Dvips does require some additional installation, detailed in the sections below. Also, to configure color devices, see section Color device configuration.
