I would also suggest referring to
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TeX_= Live#Installation for the
packages to install on Arch. I myself am using Archlinux-packaged TeX
Live without any issues. I believe I installed "texlive-most", "texlive-lang", and "biber", which are the 3 main packa= ges/groups
recommended by the wiki.
