Highly recommended 3 utilities:

  • pandoc 标记语言转换领域的"瑞士军刀"
  • TexLive 开发最为活跃的 TeX 发行版之一
  • eisvogel 简洁的 pandoc LaTex 模板

eisvogel 要求一个完整的 TexLive 的安装环境，但通常像 CentOS 这样的 Linux 发行版自带的 TexLive 并不完整。

How to Install texlive.iso

Quick Install

将 TexLive 的镜像下载并挂载后，通过顶层目录下的 install-tl 这个 Perl 脚本程序安装，整个安装过程要注意以下几点。

mount ISO image

假设在 Linux 下，通过 root 用户或 sudo 挂载镜像文件

TexLive 的 installer 是一个 perl script, 提供 text mode 和 GUI mode 两种安装模式.

最好勾选此选项，避免使用 TexLive 时各种 Not Found, 原因是 TexLive 默认安装路径并不是标准 Linux 可执行程序的路径(如 /usr/bin), 而是 /usr/local/texlive, 如在 x86_64 安装 texlive2022.iso, 则可执行程序被安装在 /usr/local/texlive/2022/bin/x86_64-linux. 假如不想因为该路径没有在 PATH 里，最好就是在安装时直接在 /usr/bin 下创建相应符号链接。

texlive-full

在使用 xelatex, pdflatex 等 latex 程序时，可以常常遇到类似

! LaTeX Error: File 'fontawesome.sty' not found

xxx.sty 这样的报错，一般是缺少某个 texlive 包，但 texlive 的包太多了，如果懒得一个一个安装，可以

sudo apt install texlive-full
