TeXLive minimalist survival guide

I use the small basictex package instead of the full TeXLive distribution and install dependencies as needed using the tlmgr package manager. This is my survival guide.

I installed the basictex package from Homebrew:

$ brew install basictex

Usually, when I get an error about something.sty missing, I can find the package with that file using:

$ sudo tlmgr search --global --file bbm.sty
