Can't access the Texlive packages documentation

You are welcome!

Coming from Ubuntu, I can understand that it’s very different.

The AUR doesn’t have to scare you. One the page I gave you the link to, for example, click on the “View PKGBUILD” link on the right. On the window with the script that opens, you can inspect what the script will do to install the package on your system. There you’ll be able to see all commands that run, so you’ll be able to see if something dodgy will happen.

Yes, the usage of the AUR is at own risk. But:

  1. Seeing as you can inspect the PKGBUILD files, you can choose not to install something that seems dodgy, so the risk is minimal.
  2. There are so many packages in the AUR, it would be impossible for Manjaro too test them all.

So that’s why there is a warning.

Yes, you’ll have to install the tllocalmgr from the AUR.

$ pamac search tllocalmgr
tllocalmgr-git                                                                                                                                                                                                                           r84.bbd8488-5  AUR
