# tlmgrlookup
A cli tool for finding texlive packages from filenames
## Motivating example
Have you ever seen a latex error complaining about some style file missing?
Suppose you compiled this latex document:
```latex
\documentclass[ignorenonframetext]{article}
\usepackage{xintfrac}
\begin{document}
Hello evince!
\end{document}
```
When you compile this document you will get this error: `ERROR: LaTeX Error: File `xintfrac.sty' not found.` Suppose you
wanted to install `xintfrac`, you would run `tlmgr install xinitfrac`, but then you would get the following totally
frustrating error message:
```sh
$ sudo tlmgr install xintfrac
tlmgr: package repository http://ftp.math.purdue.edu/mirrors/ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet (verified)
tlmgr install: package xintfrac not present in repository.
tlmgr: action install returned an error; continuing.
tlmgr: An error has occurred. See above messages. Exiting.```
Thanks `tlmgr`, but what is the package that provides `xintfrac`?
tlmgrlookup to the rescue!
```sh
$ tlmgrlookup xintfrac
Looking up latex package: xintfrac
Result: 337 tex/generic/xint/xintfrac.sty xint
To install this package run:
sudo tlmgr install xint
```
Now we know exactly which package to install and the tlmgr command to install it.
## Installation
```sh
go get github.com/jpfairbanks/tlmgrlookup
cd $GOPATH/github.com/jpfairbanks/tlmgrlookup
go install .
```
## Usage
To use this package you just provide
`$ tlmgrlookup filename.sty`
Example:
```bash
$ tlmgrlookup readprov.sty
Looking up latex package: readprov.sty
Result: 1892 tex/latex/fileinfo/readprov.sty fileinfo
To install this package run:
sudo tlmgr install fileinfo$ ./tlmgrlookup readprov.sty
```
## Updating the Manifest
This package ships a list of files that are installed in the texlive-all distribution.
The list is generated by the `assemble` bash script from sources in the arch and ubuntu package managers. In order to
update these lists you can update the files `arch.txt` and `ubuntu.txt` and then run `go generate`.
Additional sources can be added to the `assemble` script.
1. Arch: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/texlive-latexextra/files/
2. Ubuntu:https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/all/texlive-latex-extra/filelist
