At the very least this should be able to run without sudo if it's already running with superuser permissions.

Here is what I get in a naive run:

install-tl-ubuntu: no repository was specified so using the following:

Hello. Deepin is based on Debian's stable branch and I tried this script in the past on Ubuntu and worked great.

https://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire.html

TeX Live 2017 was released today.

i don't tried to install your package on debian.
i would like to know if i can or not?
if for some reasons i can't, doe's it exist an equivalent way. which one?

thanks

I just found out, that the mirror selection only works with the 'time' package installed. Perhaps you can add that as prereq?

Today, when you do ./install-tl-ubuntu --help, the description section begins with:

DESCRIPTION
  This script uses the TeX Live 2016 installer to install TeX Live so that LaTeX
  packages can be updated through CTAN with tlmgr. To do this, the official TeX
  Live 2016 installer is downloaded...

but that description is out-of-sync with the README.md file which says:

Features

• installs the latest version of TeX Live
• etc.

Since it takes a long time to install the packages, it'd be good if there was some sort of indication of progress. Perhaps if the console could echo the package it's up to e.g. [1043/2500].

I need the base texlive and texlive-xetex for a github action, which definitely should not install the 5GB texlive-full, so: is that possible? The README.md does not indicate which version of texlive gets installed, making it impossible to tell whether additional components need to be installed with tlmgr or not, and whether this script is even a viable option (because if it can only grab texlive-full that makes it unsuitable for github actions)

Not really an issue, more of a /in case you didn't know/. TexLive 2016 was released a few days ago. Time willing, I will try to see if I can do a PR and update the script to cater for it.

Thanks for the script.

You have been doing quite a lot of change since the last release (in 2014!) so you should probably program a new one.

Some people prefer downloading the tar.gz in the release section instead of cloning the git repo because release are supposed to be stable, which is not always the case for git repos.

I have recently loaded the fonts from the culmus project to ctan, both in 8-bit format and in opentype format (but I don't think I have loaded any fonts from culmus-fancy, do you need them?). The version in TeX Live is up to date, and will be maintained. Installing the files from source-forge is not recommended as it can override the new version.

An automated system that cycles through mirrors and finds the fastest one would be good!

For several days I have problems with the internet. The internet goes time to time and downloading packets is interrupted. The most frustrating thing is that the download starts again from scratch. There would be some form of texlive-tl-ubuntu to restart the download from where the download was interrupted? Sorry for my English.

I understand that your code creates and installs an "equivs" package during installation. What's the advantage compared to a PPA?

Does not support HTTP, network instability may lead to installation failure.

I tried installing tl-ubuntu, and now I would like to remove it.

Is there an option in the script? Or else, which files and directories need to be manually removed? Which system files have been changed, and need to be changed back?

Thank you.

I tried to run sudo texhash in advance of installing a cls file, and the command is not found. Additionally, I have no idea where the texmf tree is (kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFHOME gives me /home/username/texmf, which does not exist), so I don't know how I can install new packages or class files. TeX Live Manager does not work after install either.

When specifying a profile file to be used with the -p, --profile option, it is necessary to specify the full path to the profile file. The reason is that when install-tl-ubuntu executes install-tl, the later will search for profile files in its relative path, unless a full path is specified. And 'install-tl' is within the install-tl-20150126/ directory, downloaded by install-tl-ubuntu in the same folder.

For example, suppose that install-tl-ubuntu and example.profile are downloaded to the '/home/myuser/Download' directory. The following

cd /home/myuser/Download
sudo ./install-tl-ubuntu -p example.profile 

will not work (check the logs to verify) in the sense that the profile file will not be used (the process will continue with no complaints). Use instead

cd /home/myuser/Download
sudo ./install-tl-ubuntu -p /home/myuser/Downloads/example.profile 

As it stands, it seems like a full installation of Texlive must be done, it'd be good if there were some sort of option allowing for not every single package to be installed.

First, thank you for creating this script.

While reading the documentation on tug.org, I notice they have Depends: freeglut3 in debian-equivs-2022-ex.txt, which is not present in debian-control-texlive-in.txt

Is this is deliberate choice? Thank you

The current setting only allows TeX Live fonts to be loaded. We should also include the permission of running mktexpk, mktextfm, dvipdfm and mkofm for evince to view dvi files (https://www.tug.org/texlive/debian.html):

${MAINTEXDIR}/bin/x86_64-linux/mktexpk Cx -> sanitized_helper,
${MAINTEXDIR}/bin/x86_64-linux/mktextfm Cx -> sanitized_helper,
${MAINTEXDIR}/bin/x86_64-linux/dvipdfm Cx -> sanitized_helper,
${MAINTEXDIR}/bin/x86_64-linux/mkofm Cx -> sanitized_helper,

and also modify ubuntu-helper (I don't know what is the correct way to modify this file - there is no local file), adding

${dTEXMFDIST}/web2c/{,**/}* Pixr,
${MAINTEXDIR}/bin/x86_64-linux/* Pixr,

I'm trying to install texlive on a vagrant vm (specifically this Ubuntu 16.04 bento box), but the script is simply failing when I try to use an iso image as source.

vagrant@vagrant:/vagrant$ sudo ./install-tl-ubuntu --iso iso/texlive2016-20160523.iso 
Killed

No log files were generated. Now if I run the script as default, there are no problems, but I really would like to avoid the pain to download every time the source.

vagrant@vagrant:/vagrant$ sudo ./install-tl-ubuntu

Running the same script file and using the iso as source, but on my own real Xubuntu 16.04 machine, is also working ok (at least in first glance)

Any idea what could be wrong?

Even though /opt/texbin was automagically added to $PATH (as seen from the output of echo $PATH), when I try to run tlmgr as root with sudo tlmgr I get sudo: tlmgr: command not found. My ugly workaround is to go cd /opt/texbin and then sudo ./tlmgr.

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04

After updating from TL 2013 to TL 2014 the links in /opt/texbin still point to the previous installation.

I'm not sure if this is intended, but doesn't allow for a full upgrade. The automatic change of this symlinks will be nice.

Hi,
how were the packages for the current debian-control-texlive-in.txt in the repo chosen? I installed texlive on my Ubuntu 17.04 system and read the warning. Then I thought that it may just be all the packages contained in texlive-full. Running apt install texlive-full on my system would install all the following packages:

Would it be appropiate to update the debian-control-texlive-in.txt to contain these packages for Ubuntu 16.04 and higher or are some packages in there that cannot get statisfied by the vanilla texlive installation and that are special to the apt-package?

It seems that the “as of writing, TeX Live 2019” in the Features section of the README.md and the two “TeX Live 2016 installer” in the Description section confuse some users. They think, the script is still either for TeX Live 2019 or TeX Live 2016 only. See e.g. pglpm's comments to this question at TeX.Stackexchange. So maybe it would be a good idea to remove the “as of writing” note and reduce the other to “TeX Live installer” or “TeX Live installer (latest version)”.

Hi, I would just like to say that this is a fantastic script; it looks like the perfect solution to the problem I was having being stuck using Linux Mint 17's TeXLive 2013, so thanks!

It looks like because of poor network connectivity, the download of TexLive 2016 from the fastest available repo will take ~11 hours. So I will probably have to kill it, as our machines here at work get automatically shut down after work hours. Will the script be able to figure out where it left off in a subsequent run?

Three days ago, TeX Live 2015 was released, and I wanna upgrade my TeX Live 2014 to this version using the script. I installed TeX Live 2014 with this script.

From my clean install of Linux Mint 17.3 /opt is not created by default and causes the following error and stops the script:

install-tl-ubuntu: linking...
ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/opt/texbin’: No such file or directory
install-tl-ubuntu: ERROR: could not link.

which I was able to fix by adding the /opt using a command like sudo mkdir --mode=755 /opt and rerunning the script.

Just as a reference, I referred to this link (I'm not very experienced with Linux)
http://askubuntu.com/questions/604203/opt-folder-missing-in-ubuntu-14-04

Personally, I'm only interested in a --source-only, but I imagine others might have use for all the fonts, etc. in their testing.

Fonts and documentation are roughly 1.5GB each. For some purposes (Travis, in my case), they aren't worth downloading.

See http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/119759/17423 for a breakdown of the distribution size.

On Ubuntu 14.04.2,

sudo ./install-tl-ubuntu --hebrew --more-tex

results

logname: no login name

It is followed by another error (?) message a bit later:

sudo: unknown user: 
sudo: unable to initialise policy plug-in

Any consequences I should be worried about..?

There's no clan way to install asymptote without pulling in texlive-binaries and texlive-common. Need an equivs package here, too.

Description: generate VF file from japanese TeX TFM file for dvips

Although the --hebrew option installs the culmus font package, and enables compiling Hebrew, it does not install the culmus-latex package which, as far as I understand it, is needed in order to use the entire variety of the culmus fonts, as well as the Nikud.
I also did not manage to install it using tlmgr as it is not in the repository.
The package has it's own installation process, but it failed when I tried it.

You can see the difference in the compilation of an example file provided in the culmus-latex package between a compilation with the package (on the left - texlive is installed in the usual Ubuntu way) and without it (on the right - texlive installed using install-tl)

The script tells me that it may not support "other version" (means 16.04) of Ubuntu.
It write something about a debian-control-texlive-in.txt file. But I don't know what it is or what it does.

The install itself runs. But I am not sure if everything is ok.

When ./install-tl-ubuntu is run, it does not finish. The log file "install-tl-ubuntu_EXTRAS.log" is attached (changed to .txt). The errors came after a 404 not found while trying to connect to "http://mirror.utexas.edu/ctan//install-tl-unx.tar.gz".
