TeXLive. It provides a CLI and ties together the
functionality of a large collection of sub-crates.

Building Tectonic
The Tectonic crates collectively depend on a relatively large number of third-party libraries. See the Book’s build instructions for a listing and guidance on setting up the build.
The crate build can be customized with the following Cargo features:
external-harfbuzz: build against an external version of the Harfbuzz text shaping library, rather than a vendored version (the default)geturl-curl: use the curl crate to implement HTTP requests. In order for this to take effect, you must use--no-default-featuresbecausegeturl-reqwestis a default feature and it takes precedencegeturl-reqwest: use the reqwest crate to implement HTTP requests (enabled by default)native-tls-vendored: if using reqwest, activate thevendoredoption in the native-tls crate, causing OpenSSL to be vendored
The Book describes some less-used features and provides a bit more detail.
Sub-crates
