[Tex/LaTex] Installing the fourier package to TeXLive 2012/Debian Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

installingpackagestexliveUbuntu

I installed TeXLive from TUG 2 months ago and I just updated the packages. I'm trying to use the fourier package, but the terminal says it's missing. I was told that TeXLive should contain the fourier package by default. But after updating and rerunning pdflatex I got the same error which is fourier.sty could not be found.
I tried to install it manually. But I can't add the package and extract it to the directory of TexLive.

You have to install texlive-fontsextra. That should work.

EDIT: texlive-fonts-extra In Ubuntu, install it using

sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-extra

[Tex/LaTex] Installing Texlive on Debian x86-64 Platform

I think, your problem is that /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux/ is not in the path. Try

export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux/":$PATH"

I normally install texlive as follows (Debian wheezy amd64):

As root

mkdir /opt/texlive
chown <user>.<group> /opt/texlive

As user, run install-tl and follow the normal installlation procedure.

Add

TEXLIVE="/opt/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux"
export PATH=$TEXLIVE":$PATH"

somewhere at the end of your ~/.bashrc file

This method allows you to install texlive without intefering with the debian texlive packages.

[Tex/LaTex] Problems with TexLive 2012 on Ubuntu after network installation

You installed texlive again from Ubuntu repositories while installing Winefish (excerpt from your log):

The following extra packages will be installed: lmodern luatex tex-common texlive-base texlive-binaries texlive-common
texlive-doc-base texlive-luatex tidy tofrodos

After installing "vanilla TeX Live" from TUG, you need to create some "fake" packages, to make Ubuntu think TeX Live is installed from repositories and not crapping around with dependencies as described in this question about installation on Debian or Ubuntu or on a TeXBlog-Post (quite old—as it is for TL2008—but might still work the same).

In order to repair your installation, I'd purge the automatically installed Ubuntu-packages and vanilla TeX Live and install the last one again, creating the "fake"-packages then and at last install Winefish.

Edit: The default installation location for TeX Live from TUG is /usr/local/texlive, so the files you found are definitly not those you want to have
