I'm trying to use the tickz package with TexMaker:

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{tickz}
\setlength{\unitlength}{1mm}

\begin{document}

\end{picture}

\end{document}

When I try to compile with the F1 key, I get the following error:

! LaTeX Error: File `tickz.sty' not found.

I already tried the following:

How to add new packages to Texmaker? but running sudo apt-get install texlive-full didn't fix it
Driving on Tikz in Texmaker but I don't understand how to reinstall "ms + xcolor + mptopdf"
How to install a current version of TikZ? which leads to How do I update my TeX distribution? but when I run tlmgr update --all, I get the following error:
```
(running on Debian, switching to user mode!)
cannot setup TLPDB in /home/username/texmf at /usr/bin/tlmgr line 5604.
```

You should use tikz, not tickz. – bmv Jan 21 '18 at 16:18

There is no 'c' in tikz. Maybe turn off auto-correct in your editor. :) – Alan Munn Jan 21 '18 at 16:18

... and a lonely \end{picture} doesn't make sense either. Use \begin{tikzpicture} and \end{tikzpicture} instead. – Jan 21 '18 at 16:27
Replacing "tickz" with "tikz" fixed it! The mistake about the missing begins and ends comes from a mistake while copying and pasting for the minimal example. – Codoscope Jan 21 '18 at 18:06

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it was caused by a trivial misspelling and solved in the comments. – Alan Munn Jan 21 '18 at 19:22
