I want to install texlie on my Kali Linux. I run apt-get install texlive-full but I got this error message:

root@begueradj:~# sudo apt-get install texlive-full
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package texlive-full is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'texlive-full' has no installation candidate

How to install TexLive on Kali Linux ?

Note:

root@begueradj:~# cat /etc/issue
Kali GNU/Linux 1.1.0 \n \l

Thank you in advance.

  • most likely you are not up to date and the dependencies for this package have changed to more recent packaged (e.g. a kernel update). Did you try apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade yet?

 Sudo apt-get install kali-linux-all

The kali-linux-all package comes with texlive and much more

Usage 15 GB

apt-cache show kali-linux-all | grep depends

Or there's the simple version

 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install texlive <- basic

 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install texlive-full

Or you can install the package alone 

 sudo apt-get update

 sudo apt-get install texlive-base

 sudo apt-get install texlive-extra-utils 

 sudo apt-get install texlive-font-utils 

 sudo alt-get install texlive-generic-extra    

 sudo apt-get install texlive-pstricks-doc 

 sudo apt-get install texlive-pstricks

 sudo apt-get install sharutils

 sudo apt-get install texmaker

 sudo apt-get install texlive htmlxml

 sudo apt-get install texlive-generic-recommended   

 sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-extra-doc

 sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-extra

 sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-recommended

 sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-recommended-doc

 sudo apt-get install texlive-pictures

 sudo apt-get install texlive-pictures-doc

 sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-base

 sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-base-doc

 sudo apt-get install gv texlive-lang-all

 sudo apt-get install texlive-lang-english

 sudo apt-get install texlive-binaries

 sudo apt-get install gedit-latex-plugin

 sudo apt-get install latex-beamer texpower 

 sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-extra texpower-examples      imagemagick

Or simplify it even more with :

 apt-get build-dep texlive 

  man  latex <- more info
