The command sudo tlmgr install --no-depends ${package}
is used to install a package using the TeX Live package manager (tlmgr
) with administrative privileges (sudo
) and without installing its dependencies (--no-depends
).
Here's a breakdown of each component:
-
sudo
: This command is used to execute the following command with root/administrator privileges. It prompts the user for their password before executing the command. -
tlmgr
: This is the command-line tool for managing packages in a TeX Live installation. It allows you to install, update, and remove packages. -
install
: This is an argument passed totlmgr
to specify that a package should be installed. -
--no-depends
: This is an option fortlmgr
that tells it not to automatically install any dependencies required by the package. By default,tlmgr
installs all necessary dependencies for a package, but this option allows you to skip that step. -
${package}
: This is a placeholder for the name of the package you want to install. You need to replace${package}
with the actual name of the package you want to install.
Overall, the command allows you to install a specific package in TeX Live without automatically installing its dependencies.
