With the latter I got this error: tex live shell:Ĭ:\texlive\2021\bin\win32\runscript.tlu:915: command failed with exit code 53: At this point I opened the TeX Live Shell from the Start Menu selected a CTAN mirror updated the TL Manager which was not up to date updated all packages run Regenerate filename database and run Regenerate formats. A file search revealed that article.cls is in the TeXLive file system but kpathsea did not see it indeed.Ĥ. ! LaTeX Error: File `article.cls' not found. At the end of the installation I tried running pdflatex on the minimal latex document. Mounted the image and run install-tl-windows.bat (as normal user, as recommended I repeat that I do have write access to C:).

At this point I tried downloading the ISO file with the full installation. Not understanding what the problem could be, I re-tried with all possible combinations of the following three options: (a) choosing different mirrors (b) leaving the full selection of packages (ie without unselecting some languages, LuaTeX etc) (c) redoing the procedure by choosing "Run as Administrator". The latter gave the error no appropriate script or programme found fmtutil.įor which there are also many posts online.Ģa. I tried compiling a minimal latex document (see below), and got an error similar to the one in this old question: I can't find the format file `pdflatex.fmt'įollowing the advice in the answers to that question and similar questions elsewhere online such as this, I tried running texhash and fmtutil-sys -all.

After one to three hours (depending on the mirror I chose), the installation was complete. I left all default paths and environment variables (note that I do have write access to C:) in the selection scheme I unselected all languages except US & UK English, unselected XeTeX, LuaTeX, ConTeXt also unselected TeXworks (I use Emacs), and clicked Install. This time the main installation window appeared. Then I downloaded and unpacked the install-tl.zip and run install-tl-windows.bat therein. Tried a dozen times, choosing different mirrors nearby and far away. It never got past the screen that tries to contact or load from a repository, even after a 30-min wait. First I tried running the recommended online installer install-tl-windows.exe. Here is what I did, step by step, and the problems I encountered in the process.ġ.

Before I report a bug at I wanted to ask for advice here, in case I'm doing something wrong. I've now tried several times, following different installation procedures - cleaning up everything (deleting base & user directories, environment variables, etc) before each time - but still don't manage to get a working installation.

Wanting to install TeX Live 2021, I followed the full installation guide and also read the Windows-specific warnings. I have a Windows 10 laptop where no TeX distribution was ever installed before (double-checked for config directories, files, and environment variables).
