texliveonfly:tldr:3b14e
This command is most likely used in a Unix-like operating system (e.g., Linux) to run a TeX document using the texliveonfly script.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
texliveonfly
: This is the name of the script being executed. It is a utility provided by the TeX Live distribution to automatically download and install any missing packages required by a TeX document.
--texlive_bin=${path-to-texlive_bin}
: This is an option passed to the script specifying the location of the texlive_bin directory. The ${path-to-texlive_bin}
placeholder should be replaced with the actual path to the directory containing the TeX Live binaries.
${source-tex}
: This is another placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the TeX source file (*.tex) you want to compile.
When this command is executed with the appropriate values for ${path-to-texlive_bin}
and ${source-tex}
, the texliveonfly
script will be invoked to compile the TeX document. It will check for any missing packages using the specified texlive_bin
directory and automatically download and install them if needed, ensuring that the document can be successfully compiled without any missing dependencies.
