How do I install this package #26

I am trying to get my head around deep LaTeX topics - so far I've been writing "normal" stuff like maths, but I cannot figure out how to extend the standard LaTeX distribution with niche (but great!) packages like leadsheets.

As far as I understand the package when on CTAN (https://github.com/cgnieder/leadsheets) should be already included in the standard LaTeX distribution, but when I try to compile a document I get:

LaTeX2e <2020-02-02> patch level 2
L3 programming layer <2020-02-14>

! LaTeX Error: File `leadsheet.cls' not found.

Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: cls)

So I tried to figure out how to use the LaTeX package manager tlmgr like this: tlmgr install leadsheet --verify-repo=none -v, but the package is not found with the message: tlmgr install: package leadsheet not present in repository.

I have to use --verify-repo=none because for some reason Debian based Linux environments are messing with the CTAN certificates.

Is there a proper way/command/procedure of extending LaTeX functionality with leadsheets? How can I "install" leadsheets?

Apologies - the moment I wrote this issue I realized I had a typo on the command, it's leadsheets not leadsheet. This works: tlmgr install leadsheets --verify-repo=none -v I swear I've been banging my head around these LaTeX topics for quite a long time, without realizing this dummy spelling mistake :man_facepalming:
