Tikz library math

Question

Following the answer of this question I tried to run the code proposed by Mark in the third "code window". What I obtain is:

I can't find file `tikzlibrarymath.code.tex'

Runninig the terminal command

tlmgr update --all

I obtain the following

(running on Debian, switching to user mode!)
tlmgr: package repository http://ctan.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/CTAN/systems/texlive/tlnet
tlmgr: no updates available

So I suppose that my packages are updated. The question is: how to install properly the tikz library math? In order to install it in a local dir, I have (partially) followed the answer to this question , but now I'm not able to find the repositories and the proper Tex Directory Structure.

Do you have TikZ v3.00? you can put \pgfversion in your document to see what it is. — percusse, Dec 19 '14 at 09:03
@percusse: No v2.10. Have I to upgrade it? If yes, how can I do? — amorvincomni, Dec 19 '14 at 09:10
@percusse: following the manual for debian I have installed the last pgf with the command line sudo aptitude install pgf but my tex seem to read the older version 2.10. Do you know why? — amorvincomni, Dec 19 '14 at 09:37
Yes. Debian's TeX Live is ancient. If you want up-to-date stuff, install vanilla from upstream. — cfr, Dec 20 '14 at 15:33

For having the newest available libraries and packages on Debian, install the original TeX Live from: http://tug.org/texlive/

Debian repository versions are usually a bit behind, naturally.

Note, that software may depend on Debian versions though. For example, if you would install a TeX editor from Debian repositories, it may depend on Debian TeX packages to be installed. You can force installation or work around it, such as with the equivs tool, or use TeXworks from TeX Live itself or a separately installed independent editor.
