+=====================================================================
+
+  LyX the document processor need a set of TeXLive packages present
+  to deploy his power, so you nedd to check if this packages are 
+  installed.
+
+  If you have the default (small) installation of TeXLive, you have to
+  install them. The quickiest way is to run:
+
+  'tlmgr install algorithm2e algorithms apacite bbding besoz 
+      bibtopic breakurl covington csquotes diagbox endnotes enumitem
+      epstopdf esint eurosym feyn fragments framed frankenstein 
+      harvard hyphenat jurabib lettrine luainputenc marginnote 
+      mathdesign mathdots mhchem multirow nicefrac nomencl picinpar 
+      pict2e prettyref preview rotfloat rsfs shapepar sidecap splitidx 
+      splitindex symbol tex-gyre ulem undertilde units wasy wasysym 
+      wrapfig xargs'
+
+   and then run it without --dry-run to install the missing packages.
+
+   To check if some packages are missing under the menu:
+   "Help" the choice "Latex Configuration" may give you some help.
+
+   As there are many flavour of your preferred applications, i didn't
+   force you to use any in particular so you must have at least:
+   a text editor, a PDF viewer, an internet browser.
+
+   If LyX appear on your screen a look in the file:
+      '~/.lyx/configure.log'
+   may give you an idea of what is supported by LyX.
+
+   Happy LyXing
