A good starting point is to install the TeX-Live basic setup:

<code>nix-env -iA ~~nixos~~.texlive.combined.scheme-basic</code>

<code>nix-env -iA nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-basic</code>

After installation, the command <code>pdflatex</code> should be available. Save the minimal example above in a file called minimal.tex and compile it with <code>pdflatex minimal.tex</code>

The (pretty verbose) output will look similar to:

<~~pre~~>

$ pdflatex minimal.tex

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.21 (TeX Live 2019/NixOS.org)

Well done, you created your first PDF document on Nixos using TeX.

=== Removing packages from a collection ===

If you want to package and install a fresher version of some TeXLive package, you might experience a collision with a package from a scheme or a collection you have installed as a whole. To resolve this issue, remove the package by pname from pkgs.

Example code:

pkgs.texlive.combine {

scheme-medium = pkgs.texlive.scheme-medium // {

pkgs = pkgs.lib.filter

(x: (x.pname != "apxproof"))

pkgs.texlive.scheme-medium.pkgs;

};

apxproof = { pkgs = [(pkgs.runCommand "apxproof" {

src = pkgs.fetchurl {

url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PierreSenellart/apxproof/1ac14c47b8351b693ca05eec73dca1332a517ac9/apxproof.sty";

sha256 = "sha256-XSgtXsOwhMu2Wo4hVp8ZfaPWgjEEg3EBn5/BhD3xkMA=";

};

passthru = {

pname = "apxproof";

version = "1.2.3";

tlType = "run";

};

}

"

mkdir -p $out/tex/latex/apxproof/

cp $src $out/tex/latex/apxproof/apxproof.sty

")]; };

}

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>

<code>nix-env -iA nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-full</code>

If you are looking for a smaller package, you need to go the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/refs/heads/master/pkgs/tools/typesetting/tex/texlive/tlpdb.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?)
