Package manager

2009-02-24 Thread Ehud Kaplan
I realize that this is not a specific Lyx question, but someone here might know the answer. My main problem in running Lyx (or Latex) on Linux is the lack of a nice package manager like Miktex is on Windows. I heard that TexLive has a package manager, but I have not been able to find it. Can

That sounds very promising. What is the name of the TexLive package manager, and how do I run it? Thanks, Ehud Kaplan
