LaTeX Error with Sphinx: file `titlesec.sty' not found

Question

While trying to generate the PDF documentation of a Sphinx project, I get this:

! LaTeX Error: File `titlesec.sty' not found.

Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)

Enter file name:

I have installed the textlive package.

Solution 1

Actually you only need texlive-formats-extra to get 361 MB of archives, instead of 1,500 MB for texlive-full:

sudo apt install texlive-formats-extra

Solution 2

You can simply install the required package texlive-titlesec via yum (if you are using the RPM packet manager):

yum install texlive-titlesec

Solution 3

I did need to install the texlive-full package. It have the titlesec.sty file. The textlive package does not contains the file.
