After viewing this tutorial, I am trying to view Chinese characters on latex. The tutorial recommends XeTex, does the texlive linux package already contain XeTex? I currently do not have the ctex package installed and was wondering how to implement it into texlive?

  • yes by default xetex is included ctex is also included by default but tlmgr install ctex should install it (if you are using texlive from tug) – David Carlisle Dec 15 '17 at 19:09
  • A linux package is not really meaningful without a distribution. Are you using Ubuntu/Debian? Then please post which Linux packages you have installed. If you mean the vanilla TeX Live from TUG (their linux version) you can proceed as David Carlisle advised. – TeXnician Dec 16 '17 at 07:25
  • If you’re using Debian, look up the package page (it’s https://packages.debian.org/stretch/texlive-binaries for Debian stable), find your architecture at the bottom of the page, and click on “list of files” (https://packages.debian.org/stretch/i386/texlive-binaries/filelist), where you will find /usr/bin/xetex listed. I assume that other Linux distributions provide similar information about their packages. – Thérèse Dec 18 '17 at 02:03
