You can also install the big =E2=80=9Ctexlive=E2=80=9D package, which shoul=
d also work.
It=E2=80=99s just really, really big, slow to download and install, but it =
works
just fine.

If you=E2=80=99ve got the space to space I=E2=80=99d recommend using it.  T=
he modular
TeX Live packages =E2=80=94 even after the overhaul =E2=80=94 won=E2=80=99t=
 be any better
(featurewise) compared to the big =E2=80=9Ctexlive=E2=80=9D package.
