I can remember that I might get a easy solution, but now I can't find this in this site.

$ whereis pdflatex
pdflatex: /usr/bin/pdflatex /usr/bin/X11/pdflatex /usr/share/man/man1/pdflatex.1.gz

But, updated installation location is 

/usr/local/texlive/2018/bin/x86_64-linux

Some solution

Set PATH to use the current TeX Live bin directory

TeXlive update - how do I permanently set the path?

How do I configure the paths for TexLive2011 to work on my system with TexWorks 0.5?

Open your .bashrc script and write the following lines at the end:

PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2018/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH; export PATH MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/doc/man:$MANPATH; export MANPATH INFOPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/doc/info:$INFOPATH; export INFOPATH

And then you should be good to go.

    That is actually insufficient. If you start your editor from a menu it will never see the addition from bashrc. Make sure to also add it to .profile, log out and in again (.profile is only read at login) – daleif Oct 22 '18 at 14:15
  • I am sorry I should have mentioned that. Either put it in your .bash_profile too or just source your .bashrc in your .bash_profile. Both works fine for me. – Mibi Oct 22 '18 at 14:21
  • Remember not all systems use bash_profile – daleif Oct 22 '18 at 14:23
  • If I am correct, .bashrc is a config file read by BASH each time one connects to "interactive" shells (terminals or pseudo-terminal in the case of a terminal emulator running under a windowing system etc.) It means adding to PATH will be repeated each time the terminal is open. I think .profile is the correct config file for PATH-like definitions in Ubuntu. – Celdor Jan 18 '22 at 09:48

I think,

tlmgr path add

is the command to add the binaries to the PATH. It is not quite commended to add .../texlive/bin/x86_64-linux to the path directly as biber and other tools might be installed in other locations.
