So, after installing TeX Live 2015 (via the downloadable package) next to Homebrew, my directory-structure looks like this
drwxr-xr-x 24 ec admin 816 20 Jan 20:58 | /usr/local
drwxr-xr-x 176 ec admin 5984 20 Jan 21:46 + /usr/local/Cellar
...
drwxr-xr-x 55 ec admin 1870 20 Jan 21:50 + /usr/local/share
drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 170 20 Jan 21:32 + /usr/local/texlive
drwxr-xr-x 7 ec admin 238 13 Oct 19:52 + /usr/local/var
(Something look a little out-of-place? :P
)
> tlmgr install latex latex-bin latexconfig latex-fonts
You don't have permission to change the installation in any way,
specifically, the directory /usr/local/texlive/2015/tlpkg/ is not writable.
Please run this program as administrator, or contact your local admin.
tlmgr: An error has occurred. See above messages. Exiting.
So, I'd really rather not run commands as root, thanks.
Was there a correct way to install TeX Live that doesn't require subsequent sudo
to run commands? /=
And in either case, is it safe to recursively-chown
the entire /usr/local/texlive
tree, to repair this?
(I don't seem to be the first one to have these problems ...)
