How to use Atom's LaTeX package?

Question

I'm very newbie, please don't annoy for my question.

I've installed LaTeX using apt-get install texlive-full but really don't know where it has been installed. As from Atom's LaTeX package needs TeX distribution's bin directory, so I tried to find it, but I could only find /etc/texmf/ and /usr/local/share/texmf which not seem to be what I want.

So, I would like to ask if what should I do to be able to use LaTeX package in Atom and should I create a PATH for Texlive?

Sorry for weird question and thank you in advance.

Solution

As far as I can tell, the issue is not one of setting your TeX distribution's binary directory (which, unless you have installed it to a non-standard location, should be /usr/bin anyway). Rather, it is because the Atom LaTeX package requires latexmk, which is not part of the texlive distribution.

So the solution appears to be to install the latexmk package, either using Software Center or from the terminal using sudo apt install latexmk. You should be able to leave the Atom LaTex package's Tex Path setting empty.

Do you mean to latex package or language-latex or latextools?
