I was installing TeX latest version, but didn't realise the amount of files that were going to be downloaded. According to this site, the total installation size is 7GB+. But it doesn't mention the total Download size. Does anyone know the total download size of TeX Live full installation on Linux 64-bit? And if it is too large for me, then is there any way to pause installation and resume it later on?
This is the site from where I am following instructions for installation.
When you press run
sudo apt-get install texlive-fullthe download size is "3.5Gb" more or less.Just try it and cancel to double check by yourself and your own distro.
It is difficult to predict bc it requires a huge number of dependencies that you may already have, or not.
Edit
Although this post answers your question (that is the size of the full version), I recommend installing as Sam Carter says in the comment.
Check on the TeX stack exchange site, where there are several installation procedures.
Minimal installations are normally less than a Gb but aren't very useful imho, and installing with
tlmgris sometimes tedious.
