tlmgr-key: Add a key from a specific file.

tlmgr

$ sudo tlmgr key add ${path-to-key-gpg}

try on your machine

The given command:

sudo tlmgr key add ${path-to-key-gpg}

executes the 'tlmgr' command with administrative privileges using 'sudo'. 'tlmgr' stands for TeX Live Manager, which is a package manager for TeX and LaTeX.

The purpose of this command is to add a key to the list of trusted GnuPG keys used by 'tlmgr'. GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) is a free software encryption and digital signature utility.

In order to add a key, you need to provide the path to the GnuPG key file as the '${path-to-key-gpg}' argument. The placeholder '${path-to-key-gpg}' should be replaced with the actual path to the key file.

By adding a key, 'tlmgr' will trust and validate packages signed with that particular key. This helps to ensure the authenticity and integrity of packages downloaded and installed via 'tlmgr'.
