TeXlive is contained in Debian proper, and part of the (upcoming) stable release etch (and of course of sid).
 
Installation is easy: If you use Debian/unstable (aka sid) or
 
Debian/testing (aka etch, soon(?) it should be stable), just call
 
<pre>
 
apt-get update
 
apt-get install texlive
 
</pre>
 
Which will bring you: texlive-latex-recommended, texlive-fonts-recommended,
 
texlive-context, texlive-latex-base, texlive-base. You can go on and install
 
additional packages (like texlive-latex-extra) and additional languages
 
(like texlive-lang-german) and additional documentation (like
 
texlive-doc-en).
 
 
 
If you want to have a system closely mirroring a TeX Live DVD, you can
 
install the texlive-full packages, which pulls in all packages. At the moment
 
it can only recommend some packages I have updated (see above and below for
 
updpkg), but later on - as soon as all these packages are fixed to work
 
with texlive - thee will be real depends. I.e., do
 
<pre>
 
apt-get install texlive-full
 
</pre>
 
 
 
== Install ==
 
 
 
After purging any other TeX distribution, such as teTeX:
 
<code>
 
  apt-get remove --purge tetex-* texinfo
 
</code>
 
you have just to <tt>apt-get</tt> these packages as root:
 
<code>
 
  apt-get install lmodern texlive-context
 
</code>
 
 
 
The <tt>texlive-context</tt> package is old compared to the <tt>context</tt> packages from Norbert Preining; see [[Debian_installation]] for how to use the newer packages.
 
 
 
== Fonts ==
 
 
 
It may be of interest to get fonts as well:
 
<code>
 
  apt-get install texlive-fonts-recommended cm-super
 
</code>
 
 
 
== TeXinfo ==
 
 
 
And to get back texinfo if needed:
 
<code>
 
  apt-get install texinfo
 
</code>
