texliveonfly: Download missing packages while compiling.
$ texliveonfly ${source-tex}
try on your machine

The command "texliveonfly ${source-tex}" is used to compile a LaTeX document using the Texlive distribution. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "texliveonfly" is the name of the command or script being executed.
  • "${source-tex}" is a variable placeholder that should be replaced with the name of the LaTeX source file (with the ".tex" extension).

When you run this command, Texliveonfly will use the provided source file to compile the LaTeX document. Texliveonfly is a tool that automatically detects and installs any missing LaTeX packages or dependencies that are required for successful compilation. This helps in eliminating any manual intervention and ensures that the LaTeX document can be compiled correctly, even if some packages are missing.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
