"which" command error on CentOS

[Ar-Kan]

CentOS based systems doesn't have the which command, causing an error, when installing TinyTeX from command line.

A solution would be to replace for type -P, which gives the same result and it is universal to all POSIX systems.

I believe you are referring to this script ?

tinytex/tools/install-bin-unix.sh

Line 10 in 6743ffc

[ -z $(which tlmgr) ] || TL_INSTALLED_PKGS=$(tlmgr info --list --only-installed --data name | tr '\n' ' ')

Yes, that one :)

@yihui how to you feel about using type -P ? this script is quite used so not a light change in case type -P can be a probleme somewhere. (I am not a UNIX expert so maybe not problem at all... 😓 )

@cderv as I said in the description, both give the same result, for example

[yihui]

The option -P is not available to type on macOS. I think we should use command -v instead.
