+How do I figure out which Texlive-schema to install?
+As noted on [[TexLive]] there are several schemas available. If you know exactly which packages you are going to need you can follow the recipe on the [[TexLive]] page. Installing the Full-schema is always an option to be sure that you have everything you need, like so:
+<code>nix-env -iA nixos.texlive.combined.scheme-full</code>
+If you are looking for a smaller package, you need to go the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/master/pkgs/tools/typesetting/tex/texlive/pkgs.nix Nixpkg's package specification] and search for the scheme-name. For each scheme the list of packages is listed there. Since the inclusion of packages is organized hierarchically, this will require some digging. (TODO: Is there a nix-command to find out?)
