Install TeX Live for GitHub Action workflows

GitHub Super-Linter CI Check dist/ Coverage

A GitHub Actions action to install the latest TeX Live version under ~/texlive. The list of required packages must be provided using the packages input parameter.

The ~/texlive is automatically cached. A cache refresh can be forced by changing the cache_version parameter.

To use this in a Workflow, you can use

name: Example workflow
on:
  push:

jobs:
  texlive:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Install TeX Live
        uses: zauguin/install-texlive@v3
        with:
          packages: >
            l3build latex latex-bin luatex latex-bin-dev
            ...
      - name: Use TeX Live
        run: ... whatever you want to install TeX Live for

Instead of specifying the packages directly, you can pass a file containing the list of packages:

      - name: Install TeX Live
        uses: zauguin/install-texlive@v3
        with:
           package_file: tl_packages

FAQs

I miss the "basic" scheme of TeXLive. How can I install that?

Install the package scheme-basic. That provides you with all the packages of the basic scheme.
