Installing a LaTeX Package with TeX Live Manager (tlmgr)

TeX Live Manager (tlmgr) is a powerful tool for managing LaTeX packages. If you need to install a package like luatex, follow these steps:

  1. Update tlmgr itself to ensure you have the latest package definitions:
    • sudo tlmgr update --self
  2. Install the luatex package using:
    • sudo tlmgr install luatex

Once installed, luatex is ready for use in your LaTeX documents. Running tlmgr ensures you always have the latest package versions and features.
