tlmgr-install: Reinstall a package.
$ sudo tlmgr install --reinstall ${package}
try on your machine

This command is used to reinstall a LaTeX package using the TeX Live Manager (tlmgr) tool with administrative privileges (sudo).

Here, ${package} is a placeholder for the name of the package you want to reinstall. You would need to replace ${package} with the actual name of the package you want to reinstall.

By using the install command with the --reinstall option, you are instructing tlmgr to reinstall the specified package. This can be useful if you are experiencing issues with the package or if you want to make sure you have the latest version installed.

Using the sudo prefix before the command is necessary to run tlmgr with administrative privileges, as it may require root access to perform the installation or reinstallation of packages.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
