I am looking for a solution. I know that packages can be downloaded from CTAN, but I never realized where to put the files to install them. I am using TeXmaker 5.0.2, but I don't know exactly where it looks for libraries and required files to run.

The exact prompt of the message goes as follows:

/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/fontenc.sty >>>> 
Package fontenc Error: Encoding file `ot2enc.def' not found

/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/babel/babel.sty >>>>
! Package babel Error: Unknown option `russian'. Either you misspelled it(babel) or the language definition file russian.ldf was not found.See the babel package documentation for explanation.Type H <return> for immediate help.... \ProcessOptions

A smaller installation than textlive-full would be just texlive-lang-cyrillic:

sudo apt-get install texlive-lang-cyrillic

In fact, you can find the package that contains the file ot2enc.def from the Ubuntu search package as described in this answer. The immediate query for the file ot2enc.def indicates the package I mentioned.

As David suggests, the answer may be using 

tlmgr install cyrillic

But I was tired of installing packages from time to time, I used the full install of LaTeX. It is heavy (~4 GB) but it was worth it.

sudo apt install texlive-full
