TeXLive

This is a role for installing TeXLive on Linux and macOS.

Installation

To install, run:

$ ansible-galaxy install y-yu.texlive

Requirements

• Ansible version 2.0 or newer
• rsync (if you want to do a full installation)

Why use rsync?

The TeXLive installer (install-tl) normally downloads packages using HTTP. If a download fails, it restarts from the beginning. Rsync can resume interrupted downloads, which is why this role uses rsync for a full installation.
