texliveonfly
package.
Summary description: Script for downloading missing TeX Live packages on the fly similar to MiKTeX License type: gpl
Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
This script performs on the fly downloads of missing packages on compilation, a feature that many missed from MiKTeX. To use it, replace your lualatex/pdflatex/etc command with a call to this script, e.g.
texliveonfly.py file.tex
[Current default options are --engine=lualatex and --arguments=-synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode; these can be changed.]
The script was written on Ubuntu and should (hopefully) be compatible with linux distributions. Because it is strongly dependent on tlmgr, it can only be used with TeX Live 2010 or later. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
