The command "sudo tlmgr path remove" is used in TeX Live to remove a path from the search path for TeX-related executables, such as compilers and utilities.

Here is a breakdown of the components of the command:

• "sudo": This is a command used in Unix-like operating systems (such as Linux) that allows a user with administrative privileges (usually the superuser or root) to execute a command as another user, typically to perform system-level tasks. In this case, "sudo" is used to run the subsequent "tlmgr" command as an administrator.

• "tlmgr": This is the main command-line tool for managing TeX Live, a comprehensive TeX distribution. It is used to install, update, and remove packages, as well as perform various administrative tasks.

• "path": This is a subcommand of "tlmgr" that deals with managing the search path for TeX programs and related utilities. The search path determines which directories are searched when looking for executable files.

• "remove": This is an argument passed to the "path" subcommand, indicating that the desired action is to remove a path from the search path. In this case, the path specified will be removed from the search path.

Overall, the command "sudo tlmgr path remove" is used to remove a directory path from the search path for TeX-related executables, giving priority to other paths when searching for these files.
