I installed manually TeXLive 2016 by the script install-tl so it is not anymore controlled by apt-get. However, I need too Lyx and Tikz, which should work well with TeXLive. I am thinking how to control the software installation now to prevent duplicates. If you do the following, you get much duplicates where I try to get KDE Tikzsudo apt-get install ktikz lyx lyx-common lyx-dbg Much duplicates hereThe following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:  aglfn fonts-cabin fonts-comfortaa fonts-ebgaramond fonts-ebgaramond-extra  fonts-freefont-otf fonts-gfs-artemisia fonts-gfs-baskerville  fonts-gfs-bodoni-classic fonts-gfs-complutum fonts-gfs-didot  fonts-gfs-didot-classic fonts-gfs-gazis fonts-gfs-neohellenic  fonts-gfs-olga fonts-gfs-porson fonts-gfs-solomos fonts-gfs-theokritos  fonts-hosny-amiri fonts-junicode fonts-linuxlibertine fonts-lobster  fonts-lobstertwo fonts-oflb-asana-math fonts-roboto-hinted  fonts-sil-gentium fonts-sil-gentium-basic fonts-sil-gentiumplus  konsole4-kpart latex-cjk-chinese-arphic-bkai00mp  latex-cjk-chinese-arphic-bsmi00lp latex-cjk-chinese-arphic-gbsn00lp  latex-cjk-chinese-arphic-gkai00mp latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab  lcdf-typetools libkonq-common libkonq5-templates libkonq5abi1 pfb2t1c2pfb  ttf-adf-accanthis ttf-adf-gillius ttf-adf-universalisUse 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.The following additional packages will be installed:  kdoctools5 khelpcenter khelpcenter4 libboost-regex1.58.0  libboost-signals1.58.0 libkf5bookmarks-data libkf5bookmarks5  libkf5gpgmepp5 libkf5js5 libkf5kcmutils-data libkf5kcmutils5  libkf5kdelibs4support-data libkf5kdelibs4support5  libkf5kdelibs4support5-bin libkf5khtml-bin libkf5khtml-data libkf5khtml5  libkf5kiofilewidgets5 libkf5parts-data libkf5parts-plugins libkf5parts5  libkf5solid5 libkf5solid5-data libkf5wallet-bin libkf5wallet-data  libkf5wallet5 libkwalletbackend5-5 prosper texlive-base  texlive-extra-utils texlive-font-utils texlive-fonts-recommended  texlive-fonts-recommended-doc texlive-generic-extra  texlive-generic-recommended texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-base-doc  texlive-latex-extra texlive-latex-extra-doc texlive-latex-recommended  texlive-latex-recommended-doc texlive-pictures texlive-pictures-doc  texlive-pstricks texlive-pstricks-doc texlive-science texlive-science-doc  tipaSuggested packages:  rcs groff gnuhtml2latex wv noweb sgmltools-lite linuxdoc-tools  writer2latex latex2rtf librsvg2-bin | inkscape texlive-xetex etoolbox  perl-tk xindy fragmaster purifyeps latexmk python-pygments  libspreadsheet-parseexcel-perl libtcltk-ruby dot2tex prerexThe following NEW packages will be installed:  kdoctools5 khelpcenter khelpcenter4 ktikz libboost-regex1.58.0  libboost-signals1.58.0 libkf5bookmarks-data libkf5bookmarks5  libkf5gpgmepp5 libkf5js5 libkf5kcmutils-data libkf5kcmutils5  libkf5kdelibs4support-data libkf5kdelibs4support5  libkf5kdelibs4support5-bin libkf5khtml-bin libkf5khtml-data libkf5khtml5  libkf5kiofilewidgets5 libkf5parts-data libkf5parts-plugins libkf5parts5  libkf5solid5 libkf5solid5-data libkf5wallet-bin libkf5wallet-data  libkf5wallet5 libkwalletbackend5-5 lyx lyx-common lyx-dbg prosper  texlive-base texlive-extra-utils texlive-font-utils  texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-fonts-recommended-doc  texlive-generic-extra texlive-generic-recommended texlive-latex-base  texlive-latex-base-doc texlive-latex-extra texlive-latex-extra-doc  texlive-latex-recommended texlive-latex-recommended-doc texlive-pictures  texlive-pictures-doc texlive-pstricks texlive-pstricks-doc texlive-science  texlive-science-doc tipa0 upgraded, 52 newly installed, 0 to remove and 19 not upgraded.2 not fully installed or removed.Need to get 826 MB of archives.After this operation, 1,271 MB of additional disk space will be used.Do you want to continue?

How to Manage TeXLive 2016, Lyx and Tikz in Linux?

Please, see the body of my question in the thread How to get this package in TexLive 2016 of Debian? and particularly the section My workflow about in TexLive 2016. Shortly, do the following because apt-get has outdated TexLive# delete texlive-full if you have installed it beforeapt-get purge texlive-full# http://latex-community.org/know-how/466-texlive-linuxcd Desktopmkdir texlivecd texlivewget http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/install-tl-unx.tar.gztar xf install-tl-unx.tar.gzcd install-tl-20130105 (or a newer version)./install-tlInstallation of the latest Lyxapt-get has little older (some months) Lyx than their website states here so the main problem is to understand which Lyx is best suited for the above installation, since we did not use apt-get's texlive# install lyx in apt-get TODO not sure if existing newer elsewhereapt-get install lyxmasi@masi:~/Downloads$ apt-cache show lyxPackage: lyxVersion: 2.1.2-2Installed-Size: 12487Maintainer: Debian LyX Maintainers <pkg-lyx-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>Architecture: amd64Depends: libboost-regex1.55.0, libboost-signals1.55.0, libc6 (>= 2.15), libenchant1c2a (>= 1.6.0), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libmagic1 (>= 5.12), libmythes-1.2-0, libqtcore4 (>= 4:4.7.0~beta1), libqtgui4 (>= 4:4.8.0), libstdc++6 (>= 4.9), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4), lyx-common (= 2.1.2-2), xdg-utilsRecommends: texlive-latex-recommended, texlive-latex-extra, texlive-science, texlive-generic-recommended, texlive-generic-extra, texlive-fonts-recommended, preview-latex-style, dvipng, imagemagick, psutils, ghostscript, poppler-utils, fonts-lyx, evince-gtk | pdf-viewer, elyxer | tex4ht | hevea | tth | latex2htmlSuggests: rcs, latex-xcolor, groff, libtiff-tools, gnuhtml2latex, wv, chktex, noweb, sgmltools-lite, linuxdoc-tools, writer2latex, latex2rtf, librsvg2-bin | inkscape, texlive-xetex, etoolbox, lyx-dbg (= 2.1.2-2)Description-en: document processor LyX is an almost WYSIWYG-frontend for LaTeX. It makes the power and typesetting quality of LaTeX available for people who are used to word processors. Since LyX supports LaTeX's concept of general mark-ups, it is even easier and faster to create professional quality documents with it than with usual word processors. It is also possible to use LaTeX commands within LyX, so nothing of LaTeX's power is lost. . You can extend the functionality of LyX by installing these packages:  * chktex: check for typographical errors  * gnuhtml2latex: import HTML documents  * groff: improved table formatting in plain text exports  * latex-xcolor: for coloured change tracking  * librsvg2-bin, inkscape: use the SVG image format in LyX documents  * linuxdoc-tools: export SGML LinuxDoc documents  * mythes-*: use the OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice Thesaurus  * noweb: import noweb files  * rcs: integrated version control  * sgmltools-lite: export SGML DocBook documents  * texlive-xetex, etoolbox: use the XeTeX typesetting system  * wv: import MS Word documentsDescription-md5: 9841fdd911f5abac7d1f71c64436f591Homepage: http://www.lyx.org/Tag: implemented-in::c++, interface::commandline, interface::x11, role::program, scope::application, uitoolkit::qt, use::editing, use::text-formatting, use::typesetting, works-with-format::tex, works-with::text, x11::applicationSection: editorsPriority: optionalFilename: pool/main/l/lyx/lyx_2.1.2-2_amd64.debSize: 3730032MD5sum: ca6c14a9c37e59d759cd46e7501e0659SHA1: 311050f528ef0455e1ceaf644a74065b928f5828SHA256: dec78f9f53ed239ed728dfe9c97c6cd9a88f7cc061c26341a67f05452ab684e9Installation of the latest TikzTikz is not updated so often so I think the default Tikz and its dependencies are sufficient in apt-get. I could not find any centralized tool for their control with LaTeX etc by install-tl.
