LaTeX on Linux
Texpile can install TeX Live for you on Linux with glibc. See From Texpile. To install TeX Live yourself, read on.
Installing from upstream is recommended since the TeX distribution in your distro's repositories might be outdated.
From upstream
Download and run the TeX Live installer:
cd /tmp
curl -L -o install-tl-unx.tar.gz https://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/install-tl-unx.tar.gz
zcat < install-tl-unx.tar.gz | tar xf -
cd install-tl-2*
perl ./install-tl --no-interaction
With apt
sudo apt install texlive-full
A smaller set that should be enough for most papers:
sudo apt install texlive-latex-recommended texlive-latex-extra latexmk biber
