The command "tlmgr check" is used to perform a verification or validation process on the TeX Live Manager (tlmgr) package manager.
When executed, "tlmgr check" verifies the integrity and consistency of the TeX Live installation by checking various aspects such as:
- Package dependencies: It verifies that all installed packages and their dependencies are correctly installed and do not conflict with each other.
- File integrity: It checks the integrity of individual files within the TeX Live installation to ensure they have not been modified or corrupted.
- Repository synchronization: It verifies that the local TeX Live installation is in sync with the remote TeX Live repository.
- Package database: It checks the package database for any inconsistencies or errors, ensuring that all installed packages are properly recorded.
This command is useful for identifying and resolving potential issues with the TeX Live installation, ensuring a stable and reliable environment for typesetting documents with TeX. It is recommended to periodically run "tlmgr check" to maintain a healthy TeX Live installation.
