XeLatex under Ubuntu

Question

I want to setup the XeLaTeX option to run some tex source files, however it is not listed where it should be.

I am using TexLive (last version) with TexMaker on Ubuntu Desktop 12.10.

Or is this option available only if I run TexLive on Windows ?

XeLatex is a part of texlive-xetex package.

To install, run the following command: sudo apt-get install texlive-xetex

To use it use the following command: xelatex yourFilename.tex

What if I have TeXLive already. How can I install XeLaTeX specifically? – Royi May 26 '18 at 20:41

@Royi xetex is not included in texlive package. It needs to installed separately. – Shashank Holla Nov 27 '19 at 15:28
