I am running Ubuntu 12.04 which came with TeX Live 2009 pre-installed. I want to create a local texmf tree at the location ~/Dropbox/mylocaltexmf/, so that I can place my own .sty files in my Dropbox which automatically syncs across multiple computers. How do I make a local texmf tree visible to TeX Live? Note that I do not want to place the .sty files in the default TEXMFHOME.

Similar questions but on different operating systems:

• Windows Create a local texmf tree in MiKTeX
• Mac OS X How to make LaTeX see local texmf tree

I tried to follow the solution in How to make LaTeX see local texmf tree, but when I ran the command tlmgr it seems that there is no such command on my system.

$ tlmgr No command 'tlmgr' found, did you mean: Command 'vlmgr' from package 'qdbm-util' (universe) Command 'rlmgr' from package 'qdbm-util' (universe) tlmgr: command not found
