How to get the trigon theme (beamertheme-trigon) in a nix-way into Tex/Latex?
Recombine it in your LaTeX, as with every TeXLive package, you can just use its TL package name as attribute name.
nix-repl> :b texlive.combine { inherit (texlive) scheme-small beamertheme-trigon; }
This derivation produced the following outputs:
out -> /nix/store/kpylxvadmmb9ldiljhwr9aii6aqxyyg6-texlive-combined-2021
There might be additional requirements that you have to add yourself the same way.
Thanks for the example.
Currently I have tex installed via nix-env, so that “nothing” will break when updating nixos and or home-manager
Is there a way to install this via nix-env?
You should treat your documents packages like any other.
And also not use nix-env at all.
Hello @NobbZ,
I would say that usage of nix-env is a different discussion / as well as how stable is nixpkgs(-unstable) …
If I would put tex into configuration.nix
there look to be other issues
for Ghostscript e.g. whereis libgs.so.9
I need to adjust (manually) LD_LIBRARY_PATH, right?
But the result would be
error: collision between /nix/store/8787q21c4x5xa0vnkkff28s3jambzhlp-texlive-combined-2021/bin/gslj’ and /nix/store/hqy0ijbzy4hy4i5g7jnhxxsfr8aml1sv-ghostscript-9.53.3/bin/gslj'
I never put TeX in my system or user configuration, I use a TL as minimal as possible per project, declared in a shell.nix or its flake equivalent.
I never had any problems this way.
while beamertheme-trigon builds
https://ctan.org/pkg/eforms
eforms does not (LATEX Project Public License 1 )
:b texlive.combine { inherit (texlive) scheme-small eforms; }
How to get eform working on NixOS?
