I'd like to make a private installation in Linux of (part of) TikZ, in order to be able to \usetikzlibrary{decorations.markings}
(note that I cannot update my TeX distrubution, which has already a basic version of TikZ).
I know some info is here, but I'd like a simple string of shell commands; also I'd like to know how much space this would take.
Up to now, I've done mkdir ~/texmf
.
~/texmf

. That is available at least in TeX Live 2011. So there isn't really any reason to think the OP wants the cutting edge version, is there? It sounds more like the OP has a small TeX installation which includes only a subset of PGF/TiKZ. – cfr Mar 8 '15 at 2:48
