I have installed TexMaker, and the compilation works. But my memory is weak and I don't recall which Latex I have installed. All this is too taxing on my memory...

Use
pdflatex --version
to tell which version of Latex you're using.

13I see. You ask the question. You get an answer in comments and then you post that to get the credit for it? Do you really think this fair?– cfrOct 9, 2015 at 3:44

5@cfr No, but in this case I don't care enough to write an answer of my own. Oct 9, 2015 at 6:12

10@cfr Not only is it fair, it is encouraged. See stackoverflow.com/help/self-answer– zwesselsSep 17, 2019 at 17:37

3@cfr and besides the mentioned arguments, Torbjørn T. answered in the comments on March 8, Yan King Yin made this an answer in October! It is way simpler for other users to find and answer, which was written as an answer and it is also easier to see open questions. But Yan King Yin should now also accept his own answer, so the question is marked accordingly.– TobiBSJan 21, 2022 at 8:13
pdflatex --versionin a terminal.pdfTeX 3.14159265 .... (TeX Live 2015/dev/Debian). Another way to check isdpkg -l texlive-binaries, if the output starts withiithen you have TeX Live/Debian installed. And withwhich pdftexyou can check one more thing: If it gives you/usr/bin/pdftexthen you are using again TeX Live/Debian, otherwise you might have installed TeX Live from TUG directly.
