tlmgr-remove: Uninstall a TeX Live package.
$ sudo tlmgr remove ${package}
try on your machine
The command "sudo tlmgr remove ${package}" is used to remove a TeX Live package using the TeX Live Manager (tlmgr) with administrative permissions (sudo).
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "sudo": This is a command that allows the execution of a command with administrative/root privileges. It is often used to perform system-level tasks or install/remove packages.
- "tlmgr": This is the command-line package manager for TeX Live, a widely used distribution of the TeX typesetting system. It is used to manage TeX Live packages, including installation, removal, and updates.
- "remove": This is an option/argument for tlmgr which specifies that we want to remove a package.
- "${package}": This is a placeholder for the name of the package that you want to remove. You should replace "${package}" with the actual name of the package you wish to remove. For example, if you want to remove the package "texlive-latex-extra", you would replace "${package}" with "texlive-latex-extra" like this: "sudo tlmgr remove texlive-latex-extra".
By executing this command, the specified TeX Live package will be removed from your system.
