You can also install the big “texlive” package, which should also work.
It’s just really, really big, slow to download and install, but it works
just fine.
If you’ve got the space to space I’d recommend using it. The modular
TeX Live packages — even after the overhaul — won’t be any better
(featurewise) compared to the big “texlive” package.
