How to install texlive-full 2015 in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS?

Question

I see that the packages has been outdated in Ubuntu

• Package: texlive-full (2013.20140215-1) [universe] about the current package which seems to be texlive 2013
• a vanilla way recommended to be installed in Ubuntu in the thread Best way to install packages for TeXLive in Ubuntu?. Vanilla way instructions are in the thread How to install “vanilla” TeXLive on Debian or Ubuntu?.

I just opened my new installation of Ubuntu 14.04 and did sudo apt-get install texlive-full and noticed that a lot of compilation errors. It would be great to get a basic typography standard in Ubuntu LTS.

Solution

In Ubuntu 16.04, just do sudo apt install texlive-full. I think you need to compile and configure texlive-full for Ubuntu 14.04 if not found in apt.
