The command you provided is a Terminal command used in a Unix-like operating system, particularly in Linux distributions. Let's break down the components of this command:
-
sudo
: It is a command that allows a user with administrative privileges to execute commands as a superuser. The subsequent command (tlmgr
) requires elevated permissions, which is whysudo
is used. -
tlmgr
: It is a command-line package manager for TeX Live, a widely-used typesetting system. This command allows you to manage packages within TeX Live, such as installing, updating, or removing packages. -
remove
: It is an action specified aftertlmgr
to remove a package. -
--no-depends
: It is an option provided to theremove
action that prevents the removal of dependencies associated with the package being removed. Dependencies are packages that are required for the functioning of the main package being removed. -
${package}
: It is a placeholder representing the name of the package you want to remove. You need to replace${package}
with the actual name of the package you wish to uninstall.
So, when you execute this command, with the appropriate package name in place of ${package}
, it will remove the specified package from TeX Live without removing any packages that depend on it.
