Improve installation instructions for linux #471

Closed Axolord closed 5 months ago

Axolord commented 6 months ago

The installation instructions for linux are currently lacking and should be improved.

For Debian/Ubuntu based distros, the texlive-publishers package includes tuda-ci. For fedora, there is texlive-tuda-ci The AUR has latex-tuda-ci And NixOS has texlivePackages.tuda-ci

Other distros probably also package tuda-ci into texlive-publishers.

There is a huge issue about this: Those are most of the time not up to date. Therefore we decided to not officially support that way and will keep recommending the installation procedure using tlmgr. There we can keep track of the latest version.

In case you have an idea how we can do so without having to resolve all the issues arising from people using outdated versions there, I might change my mind, but currently I can't see any.

I see, I missed that point.

The packages on Arch and NixOS seem to be source based, but I guess that brings its own problems with it and most people would probably use debian based distros.

Thanks for the clarification.
