tlmgr-conf: Set a specific configuration option.
$ tlmgr conf ${select} ${configuration_key} ${value}
try on your machine

The command "tlmgr conf ${select} ${configuration_key} ${value}" is used to configure settings in TeX Live Manager (tlmgr).

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "tlmgr": It is the command-line interface for managing TeX Live installations.
  • "conf": It is a subcommand of tlmgr used for configuring settings.
  • "${select}": It is a placeholder that represents the configuration selector or package name. The specific value should be provided here to select the desired configuration.
  • "${configuration_key}": It is a placeholder that represents the configuration key. It should be replaced with the actual key that needs to be configured.
  • "${value}": It is a placeholder for the value to be set for the specified configuration key.

To use this command, you need to provide the appropriate values for the placeholders. For example, if you want to configure a specific configuration key "key_name" to have a value of "setting_value", you would replace ${select} with the appropriate configuration selector, ${configuration_key} with "key_name", and ${value} with "setting_value".

This command allows you to customize specific settings or configurations related to your TeX Live installation based on your requirements.
