tlmgr instructions

[matthewturk]

Hi there! I'm opening this as an issue rather than a PR because I don't know for sure that my solution is correct. (And all indications are that you're rather expert at tlmgr etc.) But, I was having trouble getting tlmgr to recognize my TEXMFAUXPATH as added here -- and evidently this is endemic to default Ubuntu-based installations. So I had to implement a slight workaround to addtex by doing:

tlmgr init-usertree
ln -s ~/.local/pandoc/templates/texmf/tex ~/texmf/tex

A big downside to this is that it largely precludes having easy-installations of additional tlmgr packages, but it does work. Is information like this useful to have included, or is it troublesome because it duplicates stuff in the distro docs?

Hi - thanks for the first issue! I am far from an expert, and more limiting, I do not have a linux machine capable of a full tex installation to hand - just an underpowered raspberry pi with too much other work to do. I'm going to leave this issue open for now, in case anyone else turns up with the same issue - maybe we can get a real expert to help.
