Note that if PyQt5 has not been installed some UI tests will report that pyuic5 and other commands are not found, followed by ''Error 127 (ignored)'. Now, as the root user: make install --libdir=/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;/texmf-dist;: This parameter ensures that the asymptote directory will similarly overwrite any files installed by install-tl-unx. --enable-gc=system: this ensures that the system version of libgc.so will be used instead of the version shipped with this package. --with-latex= ... --with-context=: These switches ensure that style files and a tex file will be installed into the texlive directories instead of creating a texmf-local directory for them.
