I followed the instruction for Native TeX Live

After installing, I also need to add some environment variable. I edited ~/.bash_profile file, added the following lines at the end of the file:

1

# TeX Live paths
export PATH="~/texlive/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH"
export MANPATH="~/texlive/texmf-dist/doc/man:$MANPATH"
export INFOPATH="~/texlive/texmf-dist/doc/info:$INFOPATH"

Because I install Tex live at ~/texlive folder, I use the paths above.

To apply them immediately to the current terminal session, run the source command:

1
source ~/.bash_profile
