Hi everyone, I'm new to Linux.

Recently, i tried to install LATEX. For the first step:

sudo apt-get install texlive-full

It showed 293 newly installed and I press [yes]. It stared to download packages.

Unfortunately,after downloading over a hundred of packages,my internet connection went down for a while, the terminal reported that it can not fetch and then it stop.

My question is:


how can i continue the installation?
if not, when i restart the installation do i need to clear out the last interrupted download packages?

I haven't encountered that problem myself in about 12 years, but I think you can just try again:
sudo apt install texlive-fullapt should automatically see where it was stopped. There shouldn't be any partially installed packages, as the operation was interrupted during the download phase.

Thanks for your answer. I've just migrated from Windows to Ubuntu. Just don't want to mess thing up!
