I used Scott's script, and it worked perfectly without a hitch on my Lubuntu/Cinnamon system. This is a great!

What I am facing now is this 2.9 GiB 'texlive2016-20160523.iso - Ark' monster in /Home/Downloads. After reading all the documentation that came along plus some info from the internet I am more confused than ever and just do not know how to install tlmgr on my system. Who would be so kind as to advise me (a person of blessed ignorance in this field) how to do that!? I prepared a fresh install of Mageia5 on a separate HD that could be used without damaging my system and data. Thanks and cheers, Michael Hi Michael, If you want tlmgr my guess is you will have to install TeX Live manually, using install-tl. See here: https://www.tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html If you have trouble, the tex-live mailing list is very helpful: http://lists.tug.org/tex-live I have a script that automates everything and makes things easy, but it only works on Ubuntu. I think it would take a lot of work to adapt it to Mageia5 but just in case you want to see how something in particular is done, it is here: https://github.com/scottkosty/install-tl-ubuntu Best, Scott -- -- Ehud Kaplan, Ph.D. Jules and Doris Stein Research to Prevent Blindness Professor Director, Center of Excellence for Computational & System neuroscience, The Friedman Brain Institute, MSSM Director, The laboratory of Visual & Computational Neuroscience Depts. of Neuroscience, Ophthalmology, Chemical & Structural Biology The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai One Gustave Levy Place New York, NY, 10029
