The package provides a script that performs ‘on the fly’ downloads of missing packages, while a document is being compiled. (This feature is already available in the distribution for Windows machines.)

To use the script, replace your (LaTeX) compilation command with texliveonfly.py file.tex (default options are --engine=lualatex and --arguments="-synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode", both of which may be changed).

The script is designed to work on Linux distributions.
