When I try to install the texlive distribution using:

sudo apt install texlive

I get the following output:

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: texlive : Depends: texlive-latex-base (>= 2019.20200218) but it is not installable texlive-base : Depends: texlive-binaries (>= 2019.20190605) texlive-latex-recommended : Depends: texlive-binaries (>= 2019.20190605) Depends: texlive-latex-base (>= 2019.20200218) but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I have no idea what this means or how to fix it. Any gurus out there please help. I have run apt-get update successfully already.

Once you have run sudo apt update to update the software database, install TeXLive with

sudo apt install texlive-full
