tlmgr-shell: Set the value of a TeX Live variable.
$ set ${variable} ${value}
try on your machine
The command "set ${variable} ${value}" is used to assign a value to a variable in certain programming or scripting languages.
Here's a breakdown of what each part of the command does:
- "set" is the keyword or command that signifies the intention to set a value.
- "${variable}" is a placeholder representing the name of the variable you want to assign a value to. The variable name should be written without the dollar sign ($), and it can contain letters, numbers, or underscores. In some programming/scripting languages, the syntax may vary, but the concept of referencing a variable remains.
- "${value}" is another placeholder representing the value you want to assign to the variable. The value can be any data type, such as a string of text, a number, a boolean, or even another variable.
By executing this command, you are essentially storing the specified value in the variable, allowing you to access and use it in your code later on.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
