I am using the following version of texlive

Someone suggested me to install some package. They asked me to "install with TeX Live Package manager". I then checked I am using an older version of texlive (2017 version).

How can I upgrade to texlive 2020 version?

  • "Someone suggested me to install some package." - not informative at all. Are you sure that you really need TexLive-2020? What is particular reason for this? Which tex package do you miss in say 2018 or 2019?

  • the reason to move to 2020 is that it is a new version. Not that something important to me is missing in 2018 or 2019. @N0rbert a user suggested in tex.stackexchange.com/questions/585412/…

  • In my 18.04 LTS with default 2017 texlive your document is normally rendered using Gummi (by both pdftex and latexmk). You are doing something wrong or have local packages in home folder or elsewhere.

  • @N0rbert the other user said the same thing. I do not know what is the problem or how to fix it

  • You can try to list locally installed tex-packages by ls -al $HOME/texmf; tlmgr repository list; tlmgr info --only-installed command.
