Hey guys, I am very new to linux in general and I am hoping someone will be kind enough to give me a walkthrough on getting the tikz-cd package working for LaTeX. I think the problem may be that the texlive version is from 2009 and I have no clue how to get it up to date. I do have pgf installed, and I'm using Trisquel 5.5 at the moment. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, sorry if I'm leaving out any key information.
on my machines (one is 5.5, the other 6.0) i completely de-installed texlive which came with trisquel.
than i downloaded the texlive dvd 2012 and followed the general linux install instructions from their website. this is very easy.
although i have no clue about the package you mentioned :)
look here
Thank you for the help. How do I go about de-installing texlive properly? The directions there give commands for that
rm -rf /usr/local/texlive/2012
rm -rf ~/.texlive2012
which did nothing (I tried removing the 2012 and replacing it with 2009).
hmm, if memory serves correctly Trisquel comes without texlive installed, but its repos provide the 2009 version.
to remove it, go to Synaptic Package Manager, search for texlive and mark all of which are installed to be removed. apply that change.
then your system doesn't have any texlive from Trisquel repos anymore.
now you probably want to continue with installing the most recent dvd download which is version 2012 as far as i know
edit: the commands you mention would deinstall any texlive version 2012 previously installed manually to the default location. (these are different locations than those applications are stored by the system package manager)
I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I don't know how to open synaptic, it immediately closes itself. Typing "synaptic" from the root terminal gives the error:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
what(): vector::_M_range_check
Aborted
Solved this (after searching ddg) by enabling then disabling the screen reader in universal access. How weird.

That is a strange one; answers my question, which version of Trisquel you using; it happens only in 5.5, afaik. The problem is fixed in 6.0, fortunately, as I use the screen reader.

First of all, let me correct your terminology: you meant GNU/Linux when you wrote Linux. And, yes, it matters.
Then, you really need to know that installing/removing application is mainly (or even exclusively for people with no special need) achieved through the package manager. Synaptic is an excellent graphical interface to it.
tikz-cd does not seem to be available in the repository. Probably because it is a very recent project. However, you can simply download the .sty file and save it in the directory where you compile the document requiring it. If you want tikz-cd available for all your documents (and not copy it every time), you can. By default, you just need to save it in a "texmf" directory that is directly inside your home directory (i.e., ~/texmf).
Notice that tikz-cd requires pgf that you can install from the package manager.
