Because @TeX{} Live is so huge and because finding one's way in this
maze is tricky, this section provides some guidance on how to deploy
the relevant packages to compile @TeX{} and @LaTeX{} documents.
@TeX{} Live currently comes in two mutually exclusive flavors in Guix:
@itemize
@item
The ``monolithic'' @code{texlive} package: it comes with @emph{every
single @TeX{} Live package} (roughly 4,200), but it is huge---more than
4@tie{}GiB for a single package!
@item
A ``modular'' @TeX{} Live distribution, in which you only install the
Guix contains the full @TeX{} Live distribution in a modular setup,
in which you only install the
packages you need, whose name is always prefixed with @samp{texlive-}.
@end itemize
To insist, these two flavors cannot be combined@footnote{No rule
without exception! As the monolithic @TeX{} Live does not contain the
@command{biber} executable, it is okay to combine it with
@code{texlive-biber}, which does.}. If in the modular setting your
document does not compile, the solution is not to add the monolithic
@code{texlive} package, but to add the set of missing packages from the
modular distribution.
Building a coherent system that provides all the essential tools and, at
the same time, satisfies all of its internal dependencies can be
