tlmgr-install:tldr:d22eb
This command is used to install a LaTeX package using the TeX Live Manager (tlmgr) with superuser (root) privileges.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
-
sudo
: This is a command that allows a user with appropriate permissions to execute a command as the superuser or administrator. It prompts for the user's password and then runs a given command as the root user. -
tlmgr
: This is the command-line interface for managing packages in TeX Live, a comprehensive TeX distribution. The TeX Live Manager (tlmgr) is used to install, update, or remove packages. -
install
: This is a tlmgr command that installs packages. It is followed by the--file
flag, which specifies that the package to be installed is specified by a file. -
${path-to-package}
: This is a placeholder representing the file path to the package that you want to install. You need to provide the actual path to the package file in your command. The${...}
notation is often used to represent variables, but in this case, it merely indicates a placeholder that you need to replace with the actual file path.
