Way to run binaries in terminal #172

Open machitgarha opened 1 week ago

machitgarha commented 1 week ago

I want to run a binary from terminal, like tlmgr or luatex. Is this possible?

Hi,

it is possible by running for example $ flatpak run --command=bash org.gnome.Sdk.

https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/flatpak-command-reference.html gives the following additional information:

--command=COMMAND

The command to use. If this option is not specified, the first executable found in files/bin is used.

Note that the command is used when the application is run via flatpak run, and does not affect what gets executed when the application is run in other ways, e.g. via the desktop file or D-Bus activation.

Right, I can run lualatex using:

flatpak run --command=/usr/lib/sdk/texlive/bin/x86_64-linux/lualatex org.freedesktop.Sdk//23.08

But is there a way to run tlmgr to update packages, or are the packages immutable? (Running tlmgr using the command above doesn't work)

P.S.: Actually, this was my main question. :)

In principle you should be able to run tlmgr (But not with the org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.texlive package as the perl paths are not set. Use one of the LaTeX editors instead.) but you shouldn't be able to update the packages as they are immutable.
