A guide document with some example file for Tex, Latex.
TeX (/tɛx, tɛk/, see below), stylized within the system as TeX, is a typesetting system (or "formatting system") which was designed and mostly written by Donald Knuth and released in 1978. TeX is a popular means of typesetting complex mathematical formulae; it has been noted as one of the most sophisticated digital typographical systems.
LaTeX is free software under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL). LaTeX is distributed through CTAN servers or comes as part of many easily installable and usable TeX distributions provided by the TeX User Group (TUG) or third parties. If you run into trouble, visit the help section.
LaTeX is not a stand-alone typesetting program in itself, but document preparation software that runs on top of Donald E. Knuth's TeX typesetting system. TeX distributions usually bundle together all the parts needed for a working TeX system and they generally add to this both configuration and maintenance utilities. Nowadays LaTeX, and many of the packages built on it, form an important component of any major TeX distribution.
Latex is introduced in a package called MiKTeX, ProTeXt, TeXLive, MacTeX. You can download and install it for your proper operating system.

We will need to install the texlive-langextra if we want to use XePersian package or languages like Persian.
You can run the build-arch.sh script file.
$ bash build-arch.sh
If the language you want is out of the standard, you need to install the package. (All packages are in the build-arch.sh script file)
However, if you want to install a new font and use it in this environment, you must put the font file (eg ttf) in the folder ~/.local/share/fonts. (e.g: /home/max/.local/share/fonts)
Some persian fonts has created to use in some place like latex.
Usually they has XB prefix.
Download all fonts as ZIP archive.
cd ~/.local/share/fonts
wget https://github.com/BaseMax/TexSample/raw/master/XB-Fonts.zip
unzip XB-Fonts.zip
