Step-by-step procedure in Linux Manjaro

  • Run the application add/remove software i.e. pamac-manager.
  • Check if you have any partial texlive installations.
  • Uninstall every texlive-(…) other than “full” previously installed (you’ll probably find texlive-bin and texlive-core.
  • Install texlive-full (from AUR, it will take a long time to complete the installation).
  • Add the permanent path to the new installation. You’ll find the new installation in /opt/texlive/2019/bin/x86_64-linux/ or something like that. Then you must edit ~/.profile (for instance you can use sudo vim ~/.profile) and add the following line at the bottom:

export PATH="$PATH:/opt/texlive/2019/bin/x86_64-linux".

  • In /usr/local/bin add the following symbolic links:

sudo ln -s /opt/texlive/2019/bin/x86_64-linux/latexmk
sudo ln -s /opt/texlive/2019/bin/x86_64-linux/bibtex

That’s all: restart and enjoy your TeXLive full!
