== ~~List of package sets~~ ==

According to [[Wikipedia:TeX Live|Wikipedia]]:

:'''TeX Live''' is a free software distribution for the [[Wikipedia:TeX|TeX]] typesetting system that includes major TeX-related programs, macro packages, and fonts.

== Installation ==

Since TeX Live consist of thousands of packages, to make managing it easier, NixOS provides the following sets:

* nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-~~basic (texlive-combined-basic)~~

* full, <code>nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-full</code>, contains every TeX Live package.

* nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-~~context (texlive-combined-context)~~

* nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-~~full (texlive-combined-full)~~

* medium, <code>nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-medium</code>, contains everything in the small scheme + more packages and languages.

* nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-~~gust (texlive-combined-gust)~~

* nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-medium (texlive-combined-medium)

* small, <code>nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-small</code>, contains everything in the basic scheme + xetex, metapost, a few languages.

* nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-minimal ~~(texlive-combined-minimal)~~

* nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-small (texlive-combined-small)

* basic, <code>nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-basic</code>, contains everything in the plain scheme but includes latex.

* nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-tetex ~~(texlive-combined-tetex)~~

* minimal, <code>nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-minimal</code>, contains plain only.

* teTeX, <code>nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-tetex </code>, contains more than the medium scheme, but nowhere near the full scheme

~~(TODO: explain difference between sets)~~

* ConTeXt, <code>nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-context</code>.

~~== Common problems ==~~

* GUST, <code>nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-gust </code>.

== Troubleshooting ==

=== Missing <code>lmodern.sty</code> ===

If LaTex (perhaps through Pandoc) complains about missing <code>lmodern.sty</code>, make sure you have at least <code>texlive.combined.scheme-medium</code> installed (-full should work as well; while -small worked for some, but not for all).
