texlive-recommended does not exist.
correct is texlive-generic-recommended or texlive-latex-recommended.
try apt search texlive* and you will see all available packages. :slight_smile:

Hello! I think, when listing the types of TexLive packages, one of them you wrote it as ‘textlive’ instead of ‘texlive’ =]

Thanks for the article. I first installed texlive which was missing many packages I needed. Installing texlive-latex-extra solved my problem.
