I’m just getting into LaTeX and am starting with a project I’ve cloned from GitHub. I immediately ran into problems compiling because of a bunch of missing packages. I was able to get it running by compiling, seeing where it failed, and installing the missing package, but I had to do this one at a time for over a dozen packages. Is there any sort of requirements.txt or package.json file that lists all dependencies so I can pipe them to the package manager to install?

    If you are on linux the dist package manager usually have packages like ‘texlive-base’, ‘-extra’, and so on. I just install those and then very rarely do I have to do something peculiar and install a special package.
