Where can I find LaTeX and its package installation guide in details?
The full TeXLive installation comes with the documentation of its packages, usually under the path /usr/local/texlive/2016/tex-dist/doc/
.
The full installation takes about 4Gb, and is easiest done via the install-tl
script that can be found here. More information how to install in this way can be found in this related question

In the documentation you can find various helpful LaTeX introductions, such as

You can directly load the corresponding pdf
of the documentation by typing e.g. texdoc lshort
on the command line.
Furthermore, as these documentation documents include their .tex
sources, you can even search the documentation via grep
, or using the following script.
You can find more information concerning references and documentation on the TeX Users Group web site or their links to further documentation, where you can also find recommendations for books and where you can download numerous resources.
Also have a look at the related question for more information, where you can find numerous links to pdf-files and Ebooks available for download:

Another good resource is the TeX Catalogue, which I prefer in the form of a Topical Index. Here you can also find a list of packages that might be interesting for your purpose, eg. for Computer science. It might be sufficient to just download or even print this list, as you need only the package names to find them in the documentation tree of TeXLive.
