texliveonfly [--compiler engine] [--arguments args] [options] file

texliveonfly compiles LaTeX documents while automatically installing any missing packages from the TeX Live repository. When the compiler encounters an undefined package, texliveonfly detects the error, uses tlmgr to install the required package, and retries compilation until all dependencies are satisfied.The tool works with any TeX Live engine including pdflatex, xelatex, and lualatex, selectable via the --compiler flag. Additional compiler arguments can be passed through --arguments. The --dry-run flag shows which packages would be installed without actually performing the installation.
