Appendix A Requirements
***********************

Epspdftk consists of a GUI front end and a command-line back end.

The command-line component, which can be used separately from the front
end, requires ghostscript and a not too old TeX installation with
luatex.  It may further benefit from the presence of pdftops.  MiKTeX
and TeX Live for Windows meet these requirements out of the box.

The front end requires a Tcl/Tk installation, or at least a tclkit
runtime.  TeX Live for Windows contains such a tclkit since late 2018,
and epspdftk as a TeX Live package will make use of it.  The minimum
version is 8.5.

For Windows there is an alternate epspdf-setup package on CTAN with an
embedded Tcl/Tk runtime and a regular Windows installer, which also
creates a menu shortcut and an uninstaller.
