# Notes on using LaTeX

To possibly spare yourself from headache:

- Fedora: `sudo dnf install texlive-scheme-full -y`
- Debian: `sudo apt install texlive-full -y`

## Simple boilerplate

Refer to `hello.tex`

For leaflets or flyers, https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/16355/274626 has nice
answers.

## Package management

**_Don't do this, use `YOURFAVOURITEPACKAGEMANAGER search texlive-moderncv`
or whatever_**

Fedora: remember to `sudo dnf install texlive-msg texlive-texlive-msg-translations` to
remove one nag. Which doesn't work with Finnish, naturally.

```bash
tlmgr init-usertree
tlmgr --ignore-warning --usermode install moderncv
```

## Installing custom templates

1. Put them to `~/texmf/tex/latex/local/` The `tlmgr init-usertree` might be useful?

- This can be verified with `kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFHOME` in case this
  happened to be not-Linux.

2. Run `texhash ~/texmf`
