[tex-live] Where is the root dir of my Tex Live installation

[Lars Madsen]

erh, exactly what have you installed and what are you trying to do

What does this mean"

"I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and tex live directly from the net installed"

Did you install Ubuntu TeX Live or the Vanilla/TUG TeX Live?

Only the later have tlmgr, which will be installed automatically.


where does this 'runme.sh' come from?

I need that to install tlmgr.

I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and tex live directly from the net installed.
Now I wanted to install from the net the tlmgr (Package Manager) because
there is no one and this goes like that:

./runme.sh: Cannot find TeX Live root using kpsewhich
--var-value=SELFAUTOPARENT.
./runme.sh: Please call update-tlmgr-latest.sh --noexec --keep
./runme.sh: and then call the runme.sh script in the unpacked directory
./runme.sh: with the directory root as the first argument, something like:
./runme.sh: sh runme.sh /path/to/your/texlive/installation/2010
pechoc at bmeson-a:~/Downloads$ sudo ./update-tlmgr-latest.sh --noexec --keep
Creating directory tmp.OqU66gUxij
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing TeX Live Manager
Updater..........................................

And how can I find the root of the installation ?
to provide
sh runme.sh /path/to/your/texlive/installation/2013
?????

Please help!
