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
• Package management
• Installing custom templates
  • Noteworthy templates

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.

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

Noteworthy templates
