install-tl: Start the text-based installer (default on Unix systems).
$ install-tl -no-gui
try on your machine
The command "install-tl -no-gui" is used to install the TeX Live distribution, which is a comprehensive set of tools and packages for typesetting documents in LaTeX.
Here is what each part of the command does:
- "install-tl" is the name of the command itself.
- "-no-gui" is an option that is passed to the command. It instructs the installation process to run without a graphical user interface (GUI). Instead of displaying windows and menus for the user to interact with, the installation will be performed in a command-line interface (CLI) environment.
Running the command "install-tl -no-gui" will initiate the TeX Live installation process in a non-graphical mode, where the user can install the distribution by following the prompts, questions, and instructions provided in the CLI environment. This can be useful when performing installations on servers or other systems without a graphical interface.
