Install texlive 2017 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
To install the latest and greatest TeXLive 2017, run the following code in your terminal:
curl -sL http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/install-tl-unx.tar.gz | tar zxf - && mv install-tl-20* install-tl
cd install-tl
echo "selected_scheme scheme-full" > profile \
&& ./install-tl -repository http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet -profile profile
export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2017/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH
And when you want to update the packages when you want, you can issue this command:
tlmgr update --all
.
(full install instructions may be found on the tug website)
If you don't want to install anything, here is the docker image with TeXLive 2017 with Pandoc- a versatile universal document converter.
Enjoy!!
I ran into this issue yesterday and solved it iterative ... it took quite some time.
The error message also points to the downloaded .deb-package. You can force installation with:
dpkg -i --force all /var/cache/apt/archives/texlive-...york0_all.deb
This will install the package with a lot of warnings, but you can proceed with sudo apt install -f
(I actually used dist-upgrade
) until the next crash.
I had to repeat this procedure for six packages.
When installation succeeded and no more packages break the process with the mentioned error, I once restarted sudo apt dist-upgrade
to complete the installation.
I went this way, because apt purge texlive-full
was not possible due its corrupt state.
