tlmgr-remove:tldr:15bfb
This is a command to remove a TeX Live package using the TeX Live Manager (tlmgr) utility.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
sudo: It is a command that allows you to execute the following command with administrative privileges (root access). This is commonly used when modifying system files or performing system-wide changes.
-
tlmgr: It is the command-line package manager for TeX Live, which is a comprehensive distribution of the TeX typesetting system and related packages. tlmgr is used to install, update, and remove packages in a TeX Live installation.
-
remove: This is the action you want to perform with tlmgr, indicating that you want to remove a package.
-
--backupdir ${path-to-directory}: This is an option that specifies the directory where backups of the removed package files should be stored. The ${path-to-directory} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the directory where you want the backups to be stored.
-
${package}: This is the name of the package you want to remove. Replace ${package} with the actual package name that you want to remove.
So, overall, the command is telling tlmgr to remove a package, specifying the backup directory for the removed files, and providing the name of the package to be removed.
