I'm not sure why, but for some reason the -gui
option is voiding with errors when installing TeXLive 2021 on Linux. Thus:
clive@clivux:~/Downloads/install-tl-20210925$ sudo ./install-tl -gui=wizard -select-repository
[sudo] password for clive:
Can't exec "wish": No such file or directory at ./install-tl line 134.
Can't exec "wish8.7": No such file or directory at ./install-tl line 134.
Can't exec "wish8.6": No such file or directory at ./install-tl line 134.
Can't exec "wish8.5": No such file or directory at ./install-tl line 134.
Can't exec "tclkit": No such file or directory at ./install-tl line 134.

I peeked inside the install-tl
file to look at line 134, but I'm nervous about changing anything for fear of breaking the file (there should be no need to edit it, anyway, as there hasn't been a need before).
Using -gui
, -gui=perltk
and -gui=tci
as alternative optional flags all produce the same result. I can, of course, use the text mode installer in bash
, but I prefer to use the GUI wizard.
Needless to say, the current versions of p7zip
, perltk
and tci
are already installed on my Linux PC system, of which see below:
