tlmgr-repository:tldr:622be
This command is used to set the repository for the TeX Live Manager (tlmgr) tool.
Let's break down the command:
-
sudo
: This is a command that allows the user to run programs with the security privileges of another user, typically the superuser (root). In this case, it grants elevated privileges to the user running the command. This is commonly used in Unix-like operating systems to perform administrative tasks. -
tlmgr
: This is the command-line package manager for TeX Live, a widely used distribution of the TeX typesetting system. It is used to install, update, and manage TeX-related packages and configurations. -
repository set
: This is an option provided bytlmgr
to set the repository. The repository is a collection of packages and updates that can be downloaded and installed throughtlmgr
. By using this option, you specify the repository thattlmgr
should use for package management. -
${select}#${tag}
: This is the syntax used to specify the repository.${select}
and${tag}
are variables or placeholders that should be replaced with specific values when executing the command. The values depend on the desired repository. For example, you might have a repository named "main" with a tag "stable", so this part of the command would be replaced withmain#stable
. -
${---}
: This is an example of a placeholder or wildcard value. It suggests that there might be some additional configuration or parameters that can be added to the command, but it is not specified in the given command. You would need to consult thetlmgr
documentation or context for the specific values or configurations that can be used here.
Overall, this command with the appropriate values for ${select}
and ${tag}
is used to set the TeX Live repository that tlmgr
will use for package management operations.
