Install Texinfo by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make &&
make install
The Texinfo package contains the info, install-info, makeinfo, texi2dvi and texindex programs
The info program reads Info documents, usually contained in the /usr/doc/info directory. Info documents are like man(ual) pages, but they tend to be more in depth than just explaining the options to a program.
The install-info program updates the info entries. When the info program is run a list with available topics (ie: available info documents) will be presented. The install-info program is used to maintain this list of available topics. If info files are removed manually, it is also necessary to delete the topic in the index file as well. This program is used for that. It also works the other way around when info documents are added.
The makeinfo program translates Texinfo source documents into various formats. Available formats are: info files, plain text and HTML.
The texi2dvi program prints Texinfo documents
The texindex program is used to sort Texinfo index files.
